NEW YORK News Corp.’s MySpace continues to be the leader in the U.S. among social networking sites, but several portals coming from different angles are growing at a considerably faster rate, according to Nielsen//NetRatings.

MySpace saw 49 percent growth in April compared with the same month last year, according to NetRatings. That’s far less than main rival Facebook, which saw a 150 percent jump in the same period, and Bebo, up 110 percent.

The fastest-growing sites year-over-year, however, were business-related networks ZoomInfo and LinkedIn, which saw 275 percent and 210 percent growth, respectively, compared with April 2006.
