Myspace is primarily US traffic, while FB is only 20% US traffic. Quantcast only reports income levels for *US users*. Overall, across all users, an average MS user has a lot higher income than an gamblaverage FB user. The other thing to note is that in-game spending (just like many other categories of soft-entertainment - e.g. gambling ) may well be inversely correlated with income-level. @Eric – the numbers for Playdom absolutely make sense.
