NEW YORK (AP) - The online hangout MySpace appears to be less popular among teens as rival Facebook draws more of the high school crowd, according to new measurements from comScore Media Metrix.
MySpace still commands a lead over Facebook overall and within individual age groups, but U.S. visitors under 18 to MySpace dropped 30 percent over the past year, while Facebook's rose about 2 1/2 times. In June, MySpace had 4.7 million U.S. users under 18, compared with 4.3 million for Facebook.
Both MySpace and Facebook showed growth in all other age groups. Overall, MySpace grew 35 percent to 70 million users, while Facebook doubled to 28 million.
