Social Media Trends 2009

After reading Ben Parr‘s artle titled What Twitter and Facebook’s 2009 Trends Tell Us About Ourselves I got to thinking about the trends of Twitter and Facebook in 2009.  I thought I would see just how Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and MySpace fared in 2009 on Google search.  I turned to the Google Search Insights tool and found some surprising results.

I expected twitter would have made significant gains on facebook, youtube and myspace yet twitter made very little progress at all.  What was even more suprising was how facebook broke-out in 2009 against youtube and myspace.  They were all neck and neck at the beginning of the year and by year end facebook was the clear leader.

The graph above is for the United States but the results are virtually the same worldwide.

What do you think, are you surprised?
