A sharp growth curve indicates that activity on Twitter could grow much higher in the short term future.  Good old <a href=\"http:\/\/MySpace.com\">MySpace<\/a> says it can&#8217;t be counted out yet, though.  <\/p>\n<p>MySpace told me tonight that it still sees 1 billion status messages per month, divided by 30 days that&#8217;s about 33 million status messages per day.  That means until just last Fall, MySpace was still bigger than Twitter.  <\/p>\n<div style=\"float: right; margin-left: 10px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">tweetmeme_url = 'http:\/\/www.readwriteweb.com\/archives\/twitter_just_passed_myspace_in_number_of_status_up.php';tweetmeme_source = 'rww';<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/tweetmeme.com\/i\/scripts\/button.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>How easy is it to forget that?

It&#8217;s hard to say how many of them were just checking in to see who else had checked in, or to look for status messages that weren&#8217;t there, but they checked in none the less and tens of millions of people do post status updates to MySpace on any given day.  Google even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.readwriteweb.com\/archives\/google_adds_myspace_status_updates_to_real-time_search_results.php\">added MySpace status messages<\/a> to its real-time search this week.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got my MySpace account wired up with my <a href=\"http:\/\/tweetdeck.com\">Tweetdeck<\/a> install now, so when my friends do post something I&#8217;ll be able to see it.  And I can cross post things over to MySpace, too.  But my resolution to use MySpace more may be short lived.  I tried to go add more friends there and had a hard time finding people I knew.  Or I found them, added them and then worried that they&#8217;d just think I was creepy for contacting them outside of Facebook.  Maybe that&#8217;s all in my head though.<\/p>\n<p>So two things to consider.  The old King really is no more, MySpace is officially behind Twitter now.  (Liz Gannes <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2010\/02\/22\/battle-of-the-status-updates-facebook-still-has-the-edge-but-barely\">writes today<\/a> that Twitter is fast approaching Facebook as well, while acknowledging that the term status message mean something different on Facebook.) But MySpace remains a thriving place for millions of people.  Will it remain that way?  Development hasn&#8217;t stopped, the trend doesn&#8217;t look good, but who can really say?  The only thing that can be said for sure today is: MySpace isn&#8217;t dead yet.<\/p>\n<p><center><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/swf.tubechop.com\/tubechop.swf?vurl=hcl3qmawY_0&#038;start=1845&#038;end=2172&#038;cid=52482\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/swf.tubechop.com\/tubechop.swf?vurl=hcl3qmawY_0&#038;start=1845&#038;end=2172&#038;cid=52482\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><\/embed><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><em>Above: <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/kevinmarks\">Kevin Marks<\/a> skewers MySpace critics, including yours truly.<\/em><\/center><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.readwriteweb.com\/archives\/twitter_just_passed_myspace_in_number_of_status_up.php#comments-open\">Discuss<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/nFLl_v0K_72cfzu_2BahguIyn_c\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/nFLl_v0K_72cfzu_2BahguIyn_c\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/nFLl_v0K_72cfzu_2BahguIyn_c\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/nFLl_v0K_72cfzu_2BahguIyn_c\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=lgxXB0C_QfY:Fb0WDWeW--8:FFnlKYwJmN0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=FFnlKYwJmN0\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=lgxXB0C_QfY:Fb0WDWeW--8:Ij26kaj3iuU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=Ij26kaj3iuU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=lgxXB0C_QfY:Fb0WDWeW--8:C2pbw5bZMiI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=C2pbw5bZMiI\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=lgxXB0C_QfY:Fb0WDWeW--8:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=lgxXB0C_QfY:Fb0WDWeW--8:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?i=lgxXB0C_QfY:Fb0WDWeW--8:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=lgxXB0C_QfY:Fb0WDWeW--8:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?i=lgxXB0C_QfY:Fb0WDWeW--8:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=lgxXB0C_QfY:Fb0WDWeW--8:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?i=lgxXB0C_QfY:Fb0WDWeW--8:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=lgxXB0C_QfY:Fb0WDWeW--8:OqabYuBsmOY\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=OqabYuBsmOY\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/readwriteweb\/~4\/lgxXB0C_QfY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter made news today for announcing that it now sees an average of 50 million status messages posted each day.
