MySpace gets 100 millionth subscriber

MySpace has signed up its 100 millionth member, though a Comscore survey suggested far fewer unique users, while rival Bebo plans to relaunch its video blogging facilities.

Also a good morning for MySpace, who have just signed up their 100 millionth member aided, obviously, by the immense popularity of CMU's MySpace Of The Day feature. It is a considerable achievement for the social networking site, though some point out that many users have more than one page, that there are many spoof pages, and that some pages are essentially now redundant - and that a recent survey by online measurement company Comscore reckoned MySpace actually had about 66,401 unique users globally. But still, the latest landmark surely demonstrates that MySpace is definitely one of the big online phenomenons of the last 18 months.

Of course, as previously reported, newer rival Bebo is doing its best to catch up, especially among younger web surfers. We hear that Bebo is now also hoping to take on that other recent online phenomenon, YouTube, by relaunching its video blogging facilities sometime soon.
