Is Yahoo the real leader in social media? In Yahoo: We trump MySpace, Facebook, ZDNet writer Donna Bogatin quotes Yahoo CEO Terry Semel:
Yahoo! Answers has become the largest collection of human knowledge on the web in just over a year since its initial launch, having now grown to almost 75 million unique monthly users worldwide…
Together, Yahoo Answers. Flickr, del.icio.us, and Yahoo! Video have surpassed 100 million monthly users, continuing our position as a leading force in social media.
Interestingly enough within this group, 50% of our users are under the age of 35. To put that into perspective, it puts us ahead of properties such as MySpace and Facebook in this attractive demographic.
Those are impressive numbers considering the negative press Yahoo has received lately, even as the media gush over the growth of other social networking sites.
Yahoo has a great weapon with its huge traffic base. While traffic can shift with surprising swiftness, if Yahoo builds on its strengths and avoids major miscues, the firm may well prove the naysayers wrong.
