  At least someone has half a brain.
  
  They should be calculating number of unique active users.
  
  I only check out twitter's website when they release a new feature (i.e. local trends) … other than that I tend to stick with HootSuite, Twittelator & Chromed Bird for the day to day grind.

  Well then it doesnt include facebook access via th connect API and the GRAPH api. Beause that is not what we are talking about it, and if we were facebook would still be ahead.

What a terrible graph! Not usable at all.

I read your early post that 10 – 15 million users for twitter even towards the end last year, I wonder as you mentioned how many are active real users. Myspace seems a little high as well.

Actually, despite the criticism, I see the graph representing revenue streams rather than users – I think the thing that may throw people is the 'numbers of unique visitors monthly' which looks like the main thing about the graph rather than the revenue stream side. Of course, we all know a bit more about things than shown on the graph but it may be a useful graphic for some who just need a snapshot of who is commercialising more than others.

First time I saw the graph was probably in August (as you can clearly see by the August marker on the FB data) I hope they roll a new one shortly.

Facebook Is The Best

It's going to be interesting to see how these companies evolve as they consider charging users for accounts.

There's a difference between “active” users vs “passive” visitor. I'm going to predict Twitter's business model is dead on arrival (doa) because they can't keep ACTIVE users.

• 80% failed to provide a homepage URL
• 76% of users have not entered a bio in their profile
• 69% have not specified a location
• 55% are not following anyone
• 55% have never tweeted
• 53% have no followers

  good data. I think you are absolutely right.

i'm pretty sure you mean “distinct” not “unique.”

Pole-Position. The market is wide open for the next years in this market segment, I will watch the race of facebook and Twittwer.

As per my point of view in social networking platform, Facebook will always score high because of its features, apps, games, and overall presentation of data. My space is also a nice social networking site however it need some improvement..
