In its short two month existence it garnered more profile views that many bands quickly reaching a 5 digit value. Its top viewed video, Midget Dancing, was the first video in myspace history to reach 3,000,000 views. It also beat everyone to 3,500,000 views. It was also the first video to have its own group -- with 1,400 loyal minions. I reported Tom, the founder, for "cyber bullying" to get a response. Deleting a profile without warning, and especially without justification is cyber bullying succinctly. In their latest response to my entertaining email volley they wrote "sorry for the inconvenience". If it were just that they'd be able to restore my profile from their backups.

gross ineptitude? feckless marxist myspace minions?

you decide… after some investigating…. now watch their video traffic decline as I move to ply my Amazahzing powers elsewhere

myspace has far too many creepy inhabitants. Its steeped in ‘the culture of death’.

SECURITY and JUSTICE must be given to participants of suchs sites for them to flourish

If one person clicks 'video' by mistake on Yahoo then they get counted as a viewer. YouTube is still the place people go to find videos, with MySpace gaining ground.

To say that Yahoo leads the online video pack, without disclosing that it's a US-based measurement only, is potentially very misleading. Not everyone has memorized the various measurement methodologies of these ratings services. <blockquote>RESTON, Va., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- comScore Media Metrix today released its monthly analysis of U.S. consumer activity at top online properties and categories for July.</blockquote> Marshall, may I humbly suggest that in the future, when reporting on Comscore, Hitwise, etc, that it’s critically important to make clear what the audience is that is being measured.

The most viewed videos on YouTube this month have a range of 400k views to 2.9 million views. If the average person watches 2-5 videos a visit then YouTube's 16 million would mean 32-80 million total video views. Which is possible looking at YouTube.com's page counts. Yahoo! Video on the other hand has low video view counts compared to their # of visitors. 21.1 million visitors watching 2-5 videos each means 42-105 million video views. Which is totally not possible unless there are tons of videos with about the same number of views. If you look at the view count of their most popular video it only has 743k views. In conclusion to this long comment, either the press release has wacky numbers or the view counts on either yahoo or youtube are wacky.
