Compete Shows Facebook Has Slow Summer Growth

Compete’s latest statistics show that Facebook had a slow summer, growing by only 2 million users between June and the end of September. While summer traffic growth was practically non existent, last month the company posted just under 2 percent growth. This is slightly more negative data than we posted last week which showed Facebook dominating MySpace domestically, growing over 200 percent in the past 12 months.

While Compete also shows Facebook tripling its traffic over the past year, the past few months have been relatively slow.
