Nielsen Releases August Numbers: Social Nets and News Sites

Nielsen Online has released August data for social networks and news sites, and not surprisingly, the reports give us some excellent insight into which sites are hot, and which are not.

Some of the highlights, from Adam Ostrow at Mashable:

Twitter recorded 2.3 million unique visitors in August (US-only), an increase of 422% from the same period last year.

Facebook unique visitors to the site grew to 38.2 million, representing a more than 10% month-over-month increase and a 100% jump year-over-year.
