Britons socializing online a lot!

Social networking is fast moving up the UK's Web traffic charts. Several of what the traffic measurers at comScore call "UGC" (for user-generated content) sites have fairly suddenly moved up into Britain's Top 50. "The top UGC property, Wikipedia Sites, ranked as the 16th most visited property in July with 6.5 million visitors (up 253% versus year ago)," comScore reports. You'll notice some familiar names now: MySpace.com (up 467% to 5.2 million visitors), Piczo.com (up 393% to 4 million visitors), YouTube.com (3.9 million visitors), and Bebo.com (up 328% to 3.9 million visitors). MySpace and Bebo were ranked 89th and 90th, respectively, in July 2005; this past July, they'd moved up to 27th and 48th.
