U.S. Based Facebook Traffic Triples Over Past Year

According to new Hitwise data released today, Facebook has experienced tremendous U.S. based growth over the past year. It’s not surprising, but it has come at the expense of the previous leader of U.S. social networking, MySpace, who’s traffic is down over 50 percent over the past year. Also experiencing tremendous growth is Twitter, who has grown by 1,170 percent over the past 12 months.

Another metric where Facebook is dominating the competition is in time spent on the site.
