Here’s a quick insight into the popularity of some of the best known social networks and social media platforms.

The below shows the Google search volumes of Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, YouTube & Flickr in Australia for 2009.

Facebook clearly dominates the search queries and has grown steadily in popularity throughout the year. YouTube is a distant second with less than half the volume of searches, which have remained fairly steady throughout the year. It’s interesting to see that as Facebook has grown in popularity, MySpace has decreased in popularity. MySpace garners only about one in four as many queries as Facebook. Twitter and Flickr seem to get a fairly negligible portion of the search volume.
