Some pretty shocking data for UK fans of the social networking site MySpace was 
highlighted last week, with the news that traffic to the site has now dropped behind
that of microblogging site Twitter.

 

On one side, this is just more evidence of the amazing rise of Twitter in the UK(
leading to London being described as the “capital of Twitter” by its CEO, Ev Williams)–
and these site traffic stats actually only tell part of that story, due to the number
of people using third-party applications to manage their Twitter accounts.

of MySpace over here.
