MySpace versus Frienster

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

Intelliseek's BlogPulse tracks the buzz in the blogosphere, so I thought (apropos of the previous post sparked by danah's comments on MySpace's growing popularity) to track the relative buzz about the two services. Here it is, unequivocally showing that MySpace is getting 5 times the buzz as Friendster.

[Update: a few seconds after posting the screenshot, I noticed the copyright notice: Intelliseek does not allow publishing the images, although they are free for personal use. So instead, click here to see the comparison of the two services' buzz.]

Stowe:

Good to see you making use of some of the BlogPulse tools. More coming around the corner. We'll take a look at the republishing issue. Probably just an oversight. All the best.

Pete - You ought to switch to a creative commons license that allows others to use where there is no direct commercial application.

Looking forward to finding out new stuff in the pipeline. Let's talk offline?
