MySpace #1 US Destination Last Week

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the looking-for-a-stage-2-burn dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Hitwise is reporting that MySpace has reached the top, surpassing Yahoo! Mail as the most visited site on the internet for US users. Seeing a 4300% increase in visits in just two short years, this internet sensation has come quite a long ways. From the article: 'To put MySpace's growth in perspective, if we look back to July 2004 myspace.com represented only .1% of all Internet visits. This time last year myspace.com represented 1.9% of all Internet visits. With the week ending July 8, 2006 market share figure of 4.5% of all the US Internet visits.'"

    The "single women all over who post their info online" are 45-year-old fat males.

    The "children" are FBI agents.

    Seems you are depressed. You may want to visit that site, MySpace.com, where you will find many other depressed people with similar problems and be able to share your misery with them.

    In other news I made a site yesterday and I was the only visitor. Today there were 43 visitors.

    That would only be an increase of 4200%.
