Social Web growth: Fresh data

The latest growth figures for social networking from comScore are neatly presented in a chart next to USATODAY's article on the subject (which I blogged about here). Though the chart doesn't say, I'm assuming these are all US numbers because they're in USATODAY. Anyway, at a glance...

The percentage of all Net users (all ages) using social network sites has grown from 69.6% a year ago to 77% this past August.

The total number of Internet users was 189.1 million in July 2008 and is 195.5 million now.

The total number of online social networkers in July '08 was 128.5 million, up to 147.6 million this past July.
