. Yahoo! 360 : 207 000 UV
(officially launched in middle of February 06 with no marketing budget
but integration on low Yahoo! portal)

Myspace is growing fast without any budget. We can expect that Myspace will reach 1.5 millions of UU in November. The trend will be more and more exponential. All the 16-17 years old start to stop their their skyblog to become myspace members. Retention is far lower than on the US market cause most of the french users still in the Discovery phasis wich i think is sometimes during 3-4 months. It will result a huge growt in 2-3 months i think...

The WAT audience is mainly driven by Marketing ations (SEO, banners campaign...) as we can see that the retention is very low (5 pages viewed by user)

Bebo has no significant audience in the NNR panels (no french version launched yet).
