Social Networking: Introducing The Future Top Dog …

Writing by Nick Stamoulis Tweet

Is this telling or what? Mashable published this chart on its blog today, showing which social networking sites are the most popular. While MySpace has the most users, it is fitting to note that Facebook is growing at a faster rate. If it continues to grow at that pace then Facebook will outgrow MySpace within two years.

Another up and comer is LinkedIn, which is seeing even faster growth than Facebook. It is quite possible that LinkedIn could move into the top five by next summer.

Of the video sharing sites rated by Nielsen, Veoh is growing the fastest and Yahoo! Video is second, both with triple digit growth since August 2006. YouTube is third with 66% growth.

It looks like the future of social and viral marketing is looking good. The question is, when it all pans out, who will be on top? Any guesses?
