It was discovered today that Twitter gets more traffic than MySpace and also more monthly visitors.

But here is the real killer… Twitter now has 96 million users as opposed to the 95 million users on MySpace in less than half the time it took MySpace. Also Twitter has seen grown by 76% whilst MySpace has declined by 17% because of the popularity of sending Tweets by people.

It is also believed that Twitter and Facebook are a broader church for people where as MySpace has been focusing on music rather that the wider aspects of social media. MySpace may also be seen as a less interactive platform where as Twitter and Facebook are perfect for short messages easily adopted by the SMS generation.

With MySpace becoming less and less popular by the day it seems that it may well be uncool to have a MySpace profile, if so this could be the death nail and social extermination for MySpace.

So who’s top-gun? Well it’s still facebook but with over 2 billion tweets a month and a new look twitter getting rolled out over the next few weeks this is likely to only boost Twitters growth.
