MySpace Trumps YouTube in Video

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it-is-on-all-the-internets dept.

An anonymous reader writes to mention a MarketWatch article revealing MySpace is actually the largest video provider on the internet. From the article: "Now that third-party figures are available for individual sites, we're beginning to see who's actually attracting those coveted eyeballs. According to a new video report that comScore Media Metrix will begin offering starting Tuesday morning, 37.4 million unique individuals watched a video on MySpace in July. All told, they collectively watched 1.4 billion videos. By comparison, the audience on Yahoo watched 812 million video streams, making Yahoo the No. 2 most popular video site as measured by video streams. Yahoo ranks No. 1 as measured by unique streamers (similar to unique visitors), but barely beats out MySpace."

    Get enough retarded people together and they will procreate. Thus, Myspace.

    In other news, Universal has announced that they plan to sue MySpace first, then YouTube.

    So based on a sample size of 2, you have come to the conclusion that YouTube's popularity exploded in recent two months?

    MySpace users also rudely hotlink my images.

    Oh, but there are so many fun things you can do with this. For best results, only divert 10% or so of MySpace referrers to something else; that will keep the page owner guessing when they receive complaints, look at their page, and see what they expect to see.
