Web 2.0 information blog

A new rumor is passing by in these last few hours: News Corp. considers offloading MySpace for a sizeable stake (25-30%) in Yahoo!. That would put the value of MySpace at around $10-12 billion.

Once Myspace is being valued, readwriteweb makes a clever connection to the value of Facebook according to its recent popularity: “While the numbers show that MySpace continues to grow, Facebook is growing at a faster rate (and fastest among the more attractive 25 and older demographic), and the Facebook platform has experienced phenomenal growth in its first month. It is attracting over 1,000 new developers per day and has resulted in 1,500 applications, according to Facebook , and the top 5 applications have almost 20 million users”.
Using blogpulse search engine I compared between the volumes those two social networks generate on blog talk (see graph). Assuming that the blogsphere is a valid estimation tool for social networks success – facebook has still a long way to go.
