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.'"

Myspace is the most pointless, horribly designed site on the internet.

You know, the parts of MySpace that relate to one's own account, messaging, posting pictures and updating one's profile, etc. aren't actually that bad. I think it's quite usable. The problem is that individual user pages can look however the user wants, and there are no constraints to ensure a readable result. People will put black text on a black background if they think it's cool. I wish MySpace had only provided a limited (but sufficiently varied) number of themes, but since it is the #1 site right now, it seems like the American public really doesn't care.
