Bebo overtakes MySpace in the UK

Yesterday I mentioned that media giant Viacom is rumored to be courting social networking site Bebo for a possible acquisition. Now comes news that Bebo has overtaken MySpace in the UK with the help of its new music service Bebo Bands. For the week ending August 5, Bebo was the most-visited social networking site in the UK, according to Hitwise. Hitwise says Bebo users also stay on the site longer--on average about 29 minutes compared to 26.5 on MySpace. Mashable has more details.
