TECH CRUNCH -- Jan 16 -- Hitwise numbers show that MySpace still rules social networking in the U.S. MySpace commands a 72% market share of visits to the top ten social networking sites, while Facebook has only gained a 16 % market share. In December, comScore reports that MySpace had 69 million unique visitors compared to 35 million for Facebook. That would give Facebook about half the market share of MySpace, not one fifth. Of course, Hitwise data and comScore data are apples and oranges because they've been collected using different methods and different sources.
