There has been much press over the last year describing the difference between the two most popular North American social networks; namely Facebook and MySpace. The mainstream media would have us believe that there is a definite difference in the social class of the users of each site. Is it true? Does it even matter? What about Friendster and Hi5 and Bebo and others?
Here is a Mashable study of the most popular bands on MySpace vs Facebook. While music may not be a perfect indicator of the type of user on each social network it is definitely true that there is a difference in the people who listen to soft rock or ska music vs. rap, hip hop and punk music.
I’m not concerned with what type of person uses MySpace or Facebook or Bebo (for Europeans mostly). What I want to know is which social site is the most popualar out there. I want you and your friends to vote and let THAT tell us which is the most popular site. Sure there are numbers out there that tell us how many subscribers each site has, but those numbers are obviously skewed by inactive accounts and users with accounts at multiple social sites. You may have several accounts, but that doesn’t tell us which one is YOUR FAVORITE.
