Very interesting to see that facebook.com is lower than even friendster.com, which I though was comatose. The NY Times even had a story on it recently, talking about how they went from 20 million to 1 million active users and the owners lost out on the opportunity to cash out big on their business. Orkut’s fortunes are surprising, but practically every young person in India is getting one, and I know a large percentage of Brazil’s population has orkut accounts. Now if only Russians and Chinese youths would sign up, we’d have the whole BRIC community together :).

Theres a really good post on this topic over at read/write web. Different stats, different perspective but same conslusions. Check it out here.

Your probably right about the age thing and thats another good point. Us older folks are a bit more stable then you crazy myspace kids.

Nice digging there.
I actually managed to get an orkut invite shortly after the article, and I was able to see how orkut was primarily Brazil and India (compared to other similar websites). It’s interesting to see how broad this type of technology spans. I have to also wonder about the age demographics of orkut and youtube compared to myspace. It seems to me there are a lot more adults.
