"PS. Yes, I love being proved right."

Hmm - sucks do be you then ;)

Read this, noting growth rates in particular (even the Hitwise stats show faster growth for Flickr).

Excellent post Pete. This concept of plugging your service into social networking sites, widget marketing or whatever you want to call it is fascinating. To put a twist on the Charles Handy book, the Elephant and the Flea, if you're a flea, find yourself an elephant...if that makes sense:)

I still don't see why Yahoo! don't merge their two sites, hopefully keeping Flickr!

Very nice post. I think so many people are quick to bash MySpace but fail to realize how HUGE the marketing potential is with MySpace.

Pete:

I totally agree. MySpace really played a huge role in the growth of photobucket, youtube, slide and others. However the questions remains of how this growth can be monetized - or may be "if" this growth can be monetized at all. Or will it just turn into a bandwidth guzzler for these services and they will have to hunt for revenue somewhere else. Only time will tell.

On the other hand, I am not surprised that flickr is 6th because there is still a very large number of people I know in other parts of the US, in UK and India who have not heard of it. However, I think the community that flickr has going for itself is a rich one - one that will and is paying for pro accounts and that is tangible revenue, apart from advertising.

It will be interetsing to rank these sites based on revenues, profits and costs. :)
