Facebook Passes MySpace

It used to be that, for all the talk of Facebook, MySpace was more popular in terms of unique monthly visitors and page views. That began to change in April, according to metrics company comScore, but the gap really became noticeable in May.

During the month, Facebook logged 123.9 million unique visitors, moving well ahead of MySpace 114.6 million, while it logged 50.6 billion page views, compared to MySpace’s 45.4 billion.

By contrast, Facebook was initially just aimed at students.
