Late entry

Well, its coming up to Melbourne Cup time, and juts like that I've got a late entry to my Blog. hopefully people won't scratch it, only themselves.

Just came across another article about social networking, on the web that is, in the newspaper The West Australian. Find it at http://www.thewest.com.au/aapstory.aspx?StoryName=429863

Seems to mention that in the second half of 2007 we Australians have increased our social networking and chat site usage by 37% over the first half, and that Faceboook is getting increased traffic and may overtake MySpace. However MySpace controllers claim the stats can be misleading, with Facebook traffic being only short timespan stuff.

Things rings bells, I think I've seen/heard an argument like this before. Yes! On the 4 corners programme about 2nd Life, detractors claim that although there are huge numbers of registered users of Second Life, the number of active users is actually only a small percentage of those.

So statistics can be manilpulated, but social networking has certainly got the companies behind the Faces ( pun intended) trying to protect their patches.
