			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While BoomTown was abroad recently, we did video interviews with lots of folks, like <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20071114/facebooks-owen-van-natta-speaks/">Facebook&#8217;s Owen Van Natta</a>. We also talked with MySpace&#8217;s SVP and GM of international, Travis Katz, but did not get around to posting it.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s the video, where we talk about key trends abroad, the markets that will really matter going forward in terms of growth for dominant players like MySpace and Facebook.</p>
<p>Both face a plethora of competitors, especially homegrown ones, as well as the challenge of creating meaningful social-networking experiences in a variety of languages.</p>
<p>For example, according to stats released in October by comScore, the European social-networking scene had 127.3 million unique visitors in August, 56% of the population. More than three-quarters of the U.K. were online with almost 25 million unique visitors in the same time period.</p>
<p>Bebo was slightly ahead of MySpace in the U.K., followed by a fast-growing Facebook and also Hi5.com.</p>
<p>That kind of competition abroad should be one of the more interesting stories for social networks going forward.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video:</p>
