I checked MySpace today and it had over 13,000 players on the site @ one time. The most I’ve ever seen on Kongregate is 11,000.

Looks like MySpace is not only in Kongregate territory but it just surpassed it.

stay tuned for V2 of this site, it includes features that would make other “social sites” look pointless.

Thank you for this comment Daniel, I completly agree with you (see my post above).
The way this article refers to Kongregate as if it was the leading game website around, is really showing that the author of this article has a lot to learn about online gaming websites…

Newgrounds has been around for 10+ years, has 10 x times the traffic that most flash game sites have, and by most definitions is the ‘YouTube’ of Games and Animations. (Not to mention, it’s completely Web 2.0 and has been for a while)

I’ve been saying this for some time now, social networking is all about playing games, either directly or indirectly.

MySpace Games looks to be the standard template powered by Oberon Media (http://corp.oberon-media.com/), which also powers Comcast, Verizon, parts of MSN, and a number of others. MySpace monetizes their visitors via rev shares from ads and game downloads, and Oberon adds another provider to their network. Good win for Oberon.

“It’s certainly not in Kongregate territory yet” what does it mean exactly ? Kongregate is far from being the leading game site on the interenet, and the myspace game website will be certainly more popular in a few days… Of course kongregate has been covered on techcrunch, “the youtube of games” (non sense) and it’s web2.0, but newgrounds.com for examlpe is far more popular than Kongregate and is doing approximatively the same things since a long time ago (10 years?).

I wonder how this will effect the popularity of game apps from independent developers for the new myspace app opportunity?

A newcomer with nice navigation is Multigames: http://www.multigames.com
Multigames has more of a Youtube concept, ie developers can upload and have their game up in a minute. But the more social aspect of myspace is interesting.

Another quite similar site: http://www.playray.com/
Some of the multiplayer games are pretty cool, though…

Personally, I think this is part of the myspace.com strategy to get back members they’ve lost in the battle against Facebook.com. We all know that the Facebook.com phenomenon has grab users from many other social websites and myspace.com is now trying to get back the users through one proven way, that is gaming social website, just like Kongregate.

Watch out Yahoo!. Is Myspace’s goal to be the new edgier Y!? No wonder R. Murdoch wasn’t interesting in bidding for Y!.

I won’t ever visit this website but still kudos to myspace. They keep coming with features and additions to their social network. Not like snail paced Flickr or some other sites.
