Don't tweet this - but we are bigger than MySpace

No no, not 'us' as in 'Analytics Arbitrage, Us' I mean Twitter (yawn)

Remember when MySpace was bought by New Corp for nearly $600m? MySpace was the daddy, untouchable, even Lily Allen was 'discovered' on it - surely that was all PR?

Then it was all about Facebook, bigger than MySpace ....now it's all Twitter

According to Hitwise, Twitter has overtaken MySpace for the first time on the list of most visited UK websites. Looking at social networks alone, Facebook was the biggest UK site, followed by YouTube and Bebo, with Twitter in the 4th place and MySpace in the 5th.

And that doesn’t even take into account all the visitors that use Tweetdeck

We all knew this was going to happen, twitter is on fire, Myspace is resigned to hosting new bands - it may be all about the music baby, but was this really News Corp's strategy?
