Tokyo (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - comScore, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOR), a leader in
measuring the digital world, today released its January 2008 rankings of the largest and fastest-growing Internet properties and site categories in Japan, based on data from the comScore World Metrix audience measurement service.
January saw increased visitation to education, career, automotive and real estate sites as many people in Japan focused their Internet activity on planning for the New Year.
