Minutes Online: Facebook, Tagged and Twitter Soars While MySpace Struggles
Nielsen Online has released new data showing minutes spent on social networks for the month of April 2009. Compared to April 2008, most of the top 10 social networks are seeing skyrocketing growth while MySpace sees a decline.
The news is not all bad for MySpace. Video is its silver lining. MySpace topped the list of networks for most minutes streaming video (384 million) and average minutes per viewer (38.8).

Here’s the chart comparing total engagement from April 2008 to April 2009:
