BusinessWeek reports that Myspace is ranked 2nd for pageviews, second only to Yahoo which had 30 billion for February. Facebook ranks #7 with 5.5 billion pageviews. Not bad, especially considering the signup restrictions. Apparently, social networking websites are taking over the world.

Facebook, the Web site where students around the world socialize and swap information, has put itself on the block, BusinessWeek Online has learned. The owners of the privately held company have turned down a $750 million offer and hope to fetch as much as $2 billion in a sale, senior industry executives familiar with the matter say.

Social networking websites help artists find each other, to share their latest works of art. I call it “pictural communication”. With so many pageviews, the world can’t help but notice.
Images and text are on an equal footing in social-net dialogue. It’s more important than ever to express visually. Millions of Myspace users get the picture. Tweak layouts, add backgrounds, hack, design, code.
