    Tech Crunch recently posted a piece on the latest update from ComScore on worldwide traffic stats for social media sites. Interesting to see how the top 20 panned out. Here’s the rundown:

    1. Blogger (222 million)
    2. Facebook (200 million)
    3. MySpace (126 million)
    4. WordPress (114 million)
    5. Windows Live Spaces (87 million)
    6. Yahoo Geocities (69 million)
    7. Flickr (64 million)
    8. hi5 (58 million)
    9. Orkut (46 million)
    10. Six Apart (46 million)
    11. Baidu Space (40 million)
    12. Friendster (31 million)
    13. 56.com (29 million)
    14. Webs.com (24 million)
    15. Bebo (24 million)
    16. Scribd (23 million)
    17. Lycos Tripod (23 million)
    18. Tagged (22 million)
    19. imeem (22 million)
    20. Netlog (21 million)

    Some were expected for me (Facebook, MySpace, Flickr). Others not so much (Yahoo Geocities, Lycos Tripod). Are you a part of communities on more than 5 of these sites? Seeing this is making me think I may need to be a bit more social…

  • Delicious
  • Facebook
  • Digg
  • Reddit
  • StumbleUpon
  • Twitter

    I’m only on 3 of these sites. I guess I have to devote more time to sitting before the computer and making my online presence more visible. The thing is, I blog for me. While statistics are great, blogging is an outlet for me when I have time to express my feelings. So if what I say gets reposted or retweeted that’s great, but if it doesn’t, I’m not concerned.

    I think some of us (not you) really want to be the No. 1 person in the social limelight. They want to be in the Hollywood of the internet….Sorry, just wanted to rant.

    Rants are most certainly welcome! Gotta agree with you regarding the desire of some to be no. 1 in the social limelight.
