The Economist: Porn less and less popular, net communites grow

*title should be Porn *sites* not just porn in general

I am always skeptical of the way these trackings are done but it makes for an interesting proposition anyways

In Britain search sites overtook sex sites in popularity last October—the first time any other category has come out on top since tracking began, says Hitwise. In America, the proportion of site visits that are pornographic is falling and people are flocking to sites categorized “net communities and chat”—chiefly social-networking sites such as MySpace, Bebo and Facebook. Traffic to such sites is poised to overtake traffic to sex sites in America any day now (see chart).

Much pornographic content may simply have shifted from the web to peer-to-peer file-sharing networks, for example.
