Facebook About to Pwn Myspace in Worldwide Traffic

In the race for the top of the social networking heap (which some might compare to the Special Olympics, since even if you win…), Facebook now trails Myspace by only 8% in terms of worldwide traffic according to February comScore data:

Facebook continues to close rapidly on MySpace’s visitor total: At 100.7 million uniques in January, Facebook is now just about 8% smaller than MySpace’ 109.3 million. A year ago, MySpace’s worldwide lead was nearly 4x.

In fact, Facebook already has Myspace beat in terms of daily unique visitors, as shown by the helpfully CTRL+C-ed chart above. Personally, I don’t really get what all the fuss is about Facebook. But I’m also the guy who tried to defend Friendster back when Myspace was the new hotness, so basically, I’m a fucking idiot.
