Top 20 Web 2.0 Services
Ever wonder who’s on top when it comes to Web 2.0 services? Hitwise Intelligence has some answers.
The research company has released a list of the top 20 Web 2.0 sites based on U.S. visits in July. It used Wikipedia’s definition of a service designed “to enhance creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users.”
Drumroll, please…
1. MySpace — 44.14% market share
2. eBay — 16.22% market share
3. Facebook — 13.03% market share
4. YouTube — 9.88% market share
5. Wikipedia — 4.76% market share
6. Craigslist — 3.14% market share
7. Yahoo Answers — 1.41% market share
8. myYearbook — 1.05% market share
9. Tagged — .95% market share
10. Flickr — .86% market share
11. Bebo — .71% market share
12. Meebo — .59% market share
13. BlackPlanet.com — .52% market share
14. GaiaOnline.com — .45% market share
15. Blogger — .40% market share
16. Adam4Adam — .35% market share
17. hi5 — .35% market share
18. WikiAnswers — .33% market share
19. IMEEM — .31% market share
20. LiveJournal — .30% market share
Hitwise points out that many of these are still independent and non-acquired. Also of note: Digg did not receive enough traffic to crack the top 20, according to the analysts.

As I mentioned at the post, the relative values for MySpace vs. Facebook are interesting.

From Hitwise: "The following table lists 20 of the top Web 2.0 properties based on share of US Internet visits." Presumably Facebook would rank higher in a worldwide study. Also of interest: "Visits to these Web 2 sites account for more than 1 in every 10 US Internet visits - at 10.1% of all US Internet visits in July 2008." So even these sites are but a small portion of the total Internet activity, which suggests that FriendFeed is a very very very small community.

Ontario, good catch -- just responded to you in the Disqus post comment section as well.

And how many of these are you actively using? I am only actively using about 3-4 of them: FB, YouTube, Wiki and IMEEN.
-
@ontario Agreed. Considering the fact that we often see more discussions about FB than MySpace, which I loosely equate that to the popularity of the two services and their usage.

Winston... yeah, I'm right around 3-4 too, as far as ones I use with any real regularity (YouTube, Wikipedia, Myspace for me). Some of it is surprising. There were a few on the list that I've barely heard mentioned anywhere before this -- yet they still topped services like Digg for U.S. visits.

I've only visited five of them in the last month - MySpace, YouTube, Wikipedia, Flickr, and Blogger.
