Australian social media statistics for September 2012

Share

Social Media News has released its latest set of statistics charting the ups and downs of the top players in the social media landscape. Where are users spending their time?

As editor David Cowling points out, the biggest players – Facebook, YouTube and Twitter – are gaining users at a minimal rate, with active users remaining steady. He also suggests the fall of Digg.com coincides with the site’s redesign, which could be why many users have stopped using the site.

The effect of Myspace’s major redesign and relaunch are yet to be felt, but it will be interesting to see what change, if any, occurs once the new Brisbane-designed site gathers steam after opening for registrations less than a week ago.

Sites ranked by monthly active users in Australia:

1. Facebook – 11,500,000 Australian accounts according to Facebook (steady)(13 million according to Google Adplanner)
