Yesterday, Compete.com release statistics about user overlap statistics among the top social networks. The findings were interesting. According to the results, 20 percent of MySpace users are Facebook users while the majority of Facebook users (64 percent) are also MySpace users. So does this graph mean anything or is it just a bunch of numbers?

  • Myspace – 200+ million
  • Orkut – 67 million
  • Facebook – 52 million
