Top Social Media and Forum Sites in the US
Posted on | April 8, 2011 | No Comments
Here is a list of the top social media websites and forums as compiled by Experian‘s Hitwise ranked by the number of visits during the week ending on April 2, 2011. I have added links in case you are not familiar with the individual sites. It shows the dominance of Facebook, particularly over its former rival MySpace, which has recently repositioned itself as a music-related site. Notice also that Classmates.com is now Memory Lane, an interesting take on their former target market.
