Facebook Overtakes Myspace In Global Views

According to numbers recently issued by Web metrics firm ComScore, MySpace no longer has the edge in global views. Last month saw Facebook pull ahead of News Corp.-owned MySpace, racking up 123.9 million unique visits and 50.6 billion page views, versus MySpace's 114.6 million visits and 45.4 billion page views, according to CNET's The Social blog.

The above image speaks volumes about the two sites. Facebook has seen a steady increase in users since the site first opened its doors beyond college campuses back in October, 2006. MySpace, meanwhile (at least according to ComScore), has seemingly plateaued in the past year, due no doubt in large part to Facebook's runaway success. This trend will likely only increase in the near future, thanks to Facebook's embracing of "the world's biggest market," China.
