I've never registered with myyearbook but get plenty of emails from them now after somebody that has my email address subscribed. I also had an address that received approximately 2 spams a week and now am receiving dozens.

If you read my recent post comparing the demographical data of the top social networking sites, this should not surprise you. Sure MyYearbook is experiencing large growth but my bet is that’s not the primary reason why investors may have such confidence in it. The Compete graph below provides us with some great insight to this and why MyYearbook pwns Facebook and MySpace.

I do think that if you create something that interest teenagers that they quickly jump on it. It's like a popular young pop music star who is hot at a particular time. Teens jump on it quick.

MyYearbook is basically a sham site with a fake founding profile. The "kids" who founded it are a front for the older brother who sold his site to Petersons back in the day. This is comical.
