I think FaceBook is going to become the most popular in a few years, MySpace is gonna get knocked out! I think a lot of teens are quitting it because first of all, everybody seems to start drama on there, and second of all a bunch of kids have been making profiles and it's annoying. Kids as young as ten are creating accounts saying they're sixteen. Eck! <3 myspace.com/beautifulheroine :]

Myyearbook is nothing but a way to gather email addresses from subscriber's contacts list, then send out tons of annoying SPAM with no working way to unsubscribe to these unsuspecting people. I've never registered with myyearbook but get plenty of emails from them now after somebody that has my email address subscribed. I also had an address that received approximately 2 spams a week and now am receiving dozens.

I recently analyzed traffic data for the top social networking sites and found MyYearbook to have the highest average stay time (minutes/month/user) of any large site including MySpace and Facebook: http://tomuse.com/2008/05/2...

This, along with the increase in traffic, would explain why they are gaining such interest and confidence from investors. The longer you can keep users logged in, the greater potential for them to earn more revenue for you!

Im also surprised that this has taken off so fast considering it's still fairly new. I do think that if you create something that interest teenagers that they quickly jump on it. It's like a popular young pop music star who is hot at a particular time. Teens jump on it quick.

This is comical. MyYearbook is basically a sham site with a fake founding profile. The "kids" who founded it are a front for the older brother who sold his site to Petersons back in the day.

I've always been curious how these social networks grow so fast. My friends and I have been trying to get our website readership up and it's just not working. Maybe someday
