Slashdot Mirror
MySpace #1 US Destination Last Week
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.

So let's see, how's this for an ad? If you want to network with people to do business with then I suggest
you go to http://www.openbc.com/ (open business contacts). It's some of what Myspace may be contemplating of
becoming for the 30+ crowd but fuck them. They're too late in the game for that.
Oh and here is a listing of Myspace dross since last May: (there's more but let's leave it at that)
