Social Nets Creep on Portals, Study Sez
I don't doubt that the trend is true. However, the research methodology appears to be flawed. So I question the statistics.
The problem lies in how Compete defines what's a social network. They identify ten in their chart. One of them is Blogger, which is part of Google. So technically they counted some of Google's traffic twice.
::Later: Compete writes in that they only counted Blogger once and did not count Orkut either when figuring Google's footprint
