    Facebook’s about-face on privacy a bit late
    By Therese Poletti, MarketWatch

    “Facebook should have said something earlier, that’s a mistake that they made,” said Jay Meattle, a product marketing manager at Compete.com in Boston, which tracks Web site traffic.

    The whole Beacon fiasco does not seem to have had any impact on membership, and it is not clear that it will. Even though some members threatened in their posts on the MoveOn.org group that they would quit Facebook, visits to the site are still surging. According to Compete.com, the number of unique visitors to Facebook in November jumped 20.1%, outpacing growth at the larger MySpace, owned by News Corp, which is buying Dow Jones, the parent of MarketWatch.

    “Even with the privacy hoopla and the PR fiasco, Facebook is still growing and it’s growing quickly,” said Meattle of Compete.com.

    Could be a Technorati bug, but I’ll take it!

    Compete Blog Rank

    All 3 (very aggressive) personal year goals I set back in January for compete.com met, with time to spare 🙂

    * Get the blog to a rank better than Hitwise (smoked Hitwise)
    * Cross 500,000 monthly uniques (should do 700,000+ in december)
    * 50,000 registered users (crossed 60,000)

    Compete.com has been around for just 13 months. Anything is possible 😉
