Social networking site Bebo has overtaken market leader MySpace among UK visitors.
Bebo accounted for 13.54 per cent of UK visits to social networking sites last week, edging it slightly ahead of MySpace at 13.26 per cent, according to figures released by web monitoring company Hitwise.
Video sharing site YouTube was third most popular with 5.63 per cent of visits, followed by FaceParty with 3.38 per cent and Piczo with 2.05 per cent.
Friends Reunited, which was bought by ITV for £120m in December last year, came sixth with just 1.94 per cent.
Bebo also entered the top 10 most visited UK sites for the first time, accounting for 0.79 per cent. Google UK was the most visited site, at 7.47 per cent of all UK visits.
Bebo launched a music uploading service in a direct challenge to its rival MySpace at the end of last month.
At the time Bebo Bands claimed that more than 25,000 musicians and groups had already uploaded music to the site, through which other members can stream or download tracks legally for free.

Do you agree?
bebo virus to solicit members!
but I realize the reason for its popularity.
As many of my friends have been telling me they are sorry for not replying to me on bebo. The funny thing is I never sent them an invitation. Bebo has been sending programs to scan email address and solicite them to join there site IN YOUR NAME!
Nice huh a great way to publicize your web site.
CONGRATULATIONS BEBO YOUR COMPANY HAS SUCEEDED IN VIOLATING OUR PRIVACY AND ALSO HAS COMMITED FRAUD AGAINST THE MAJORITY OF ITS MEMBERS OWN MEMBERS.
These companies should be stopped from doing this. Some one should stand up to them and let all companies know they can not use our names without our permission. And send false information to our friends.
I have been sucked in to this trap once. I hope the rest of you stay away from sites like bebo. and please read the terms and conditions of the company it is so hard to trust anyone anymore you never know what they are using your personal information for.
