While growth is slowing at most top Internet sites, it is skyrocketing at sites focused on social networking, blogging and local information.

The number of monthly visitors to each site rose at rates ranging from 185 percent (Citysearch) to 528 percent (Blogger.com) between February 2005 and February 2006. Their growth far exceeded the 4 percent increase in overall Internet visitors in the United States during that period.
Watch this space in the future, because I’ll have an exclusive interview with a person who has used a networking site (Facebook) to hook up with girls and have sex. Scandalous!
