Facebook’s Year on Year growth of 172% (compared to June 2007) shows that FB’s dominance is having an impact on the competition here in the UK too, with major competitors; Bebo, MySpace, LiveSpaces and FriendsReunited all showing heavy percentage losses.

These figures are in sharp contrast to the US market where MySpace still dominates the first position spot with a massive 71.92% market share and Facebook only managing 16.91%.

The full tables from Hitwise for the UK and US are shown below:
