Facebook has more friends than MySpace

14/08/2008 10:38:00 AM.  | AAP
New industry figures show Facebook has dethroned MySpace to become the world's most popular social networking website.

Slightly more than 132 million people visited Facebook in June, compared to around 117 million who went to MySpace that month.

Industry tracker comScore says Facebook seized the social networking crown from MySpace in April.

Facebook's moves to tailor versions of its website to languages other than English is credited with giving it a boost in international users, that's pushed it to the top of the social networking heap.

"Facebook has done an exceptional job of leveraging its brand internationally during the past year," comScore vice-president Jack Flanagan said in a statement.

"By increasing the site's relevance to local markets through local language interface translation, the site is now competing strongly or even capturing the lead in several markets where it had a relatively minor presence just a year ago."
