Bigger than Google+, MySpace isn't dead yet
MySpace, the grand daddy of social services is still wheezing along, comScore says in its latest social media report. In fact it is bigger than Tumblr and Google Plus. I have no idea where (and why) MySpace is getting so much traffic - still. Infact, people spend more time on MySpace, a dying platform than on Google Plus says a lot about the latter.
Surprising, not so much the number of accounts there but the amount of time people still spend on MySpace.
MySpace is still in the top 10 Social networking sites, beating out Google+, according to Nielsen:

According to Google’s own stats, MySpace is still in the top 100 sites worldwide, ahead of Tumblr & HuffPo. Surprisingly, Reddit is nowhere in sight:

Just looking at that list and counting Social networking sites, MySpace comes in at number 5.
Thanks Kevin for supplementing information. Have a good day.
