TRENDING:STUMBLEUPON'S TRAFFIC GROWS RAPIDLY TO MORE THAN 50%

Which social media site drives the most traffic to the rest of the web? If you think it's Facebook or Twitter, you're definitely wrong. 

StatCounter new data shows that StumbleUpon is the most dominant source of traffic among the world's top social media sites. For the first 18 days of August, StumbleUpon accounted for 50.27% of all referral traffic from the top 10 social sites. The second is Facebook with a 38.9% market share, while Reddit, YouTube and Twitter each garnered less than 4%.

Yes, to say the least, the stats are surprising. Few days ago, I posted an Article that StumbleUpon surpassed 25 billion clicks of its StumbleUpon button and the traffic of this site has been growing rapidly. StumbleUpon has nowhere near as many users as Facebook or Twitter but it does track approximately 3 million websites which is a very decent sample size. 

Of course, StumbleUpon's traffic of 12 million could not beat the 750 million of Facebook but its service clearly grows by influence to drive more traffic.

Facebook and Blackberry maker Research in Motion (RIM) are scheduled to meet with Home Secretary Theresa May and other UK officials in connection with the investigation conducted by the government about the recent riots in London. 

Twitter, which is one of the social media used by rioters said in its statement, "We are not joining the talks, but we are happy to listen."

Facebook in its statement said, "We look forward to meeting with the Home Secretary to explain the measures we have been taking to ensure that Facebook is a safe and positive platform in the UK at this challenging time."

UK Prime Minister David Cameron, on Thursday, alarmed free speech activists when he told Parliament that the government is examining whether it is possible to prevent suspected criminals from sending messages via social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.

We are working with the police, the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality, Cameron told the House of Commons. 

The investigation, which has been outlined in pretty vague terms, has incited criticism from the media and free speech alike.
