(NEW HOPE, PENN.) MARCH 7, 2008 -- myYearbook.com, one of the most popular social networks on the Internet, and the only one started by two high school students, grew by an impressive 284 percent since February 2007 according to a site analytics report released by web metrics service Compete.

Compete's report of the Top Social Networking sites inside the US ranks myYearbook fourth inside the United States, ahead of Bebo, and behind Myspace, Facebook, and Classmates.

VentureBeat, citing the new Compete data, commented that "the largest, fast-growing social network is high school social network MyYearbook, which has grown 284 percent since February of last year, to more than 20 million visits this past February."

"myYearbook has charted phenomenal growth since the day my brother and I launched the site in the hallways of our high school," says Catherine Cook, myYearbook's eighteen-year-old co-founder. "The latest stats from Compete confirm that our expansion is as hot as ever. I am so excited that we cracked the top five!"

"Niche social networks like myYearbook are growing much faster than the social networking industry in general," notes Geoff Cook, myYearbook's CEO. "I expect this trend to continue as people look for something more than what is offered by the generic social networks."

Outpacing rivals bebo, blackplanet and hi5, myYearbook.com attracts more than 20 million visits each month. Now the fourth most popular social network, myYearbook trails only behemoth competitors MySpace and Facebook and intends to surpass Classmates in the next few months.
