We know Yahoo is No. 1 and been leading the pack for years (in terms of pageviews).
Steve Rubel posted some interesting stats about MySpace:
It is the largest online social networking portal on the web.
It has 61 + million registered users with 21+ million unique visitors (Media Metrix).
It’s the second largest destination on the web, by page views.
It splits 50.2% male, 49.8% female.
They reach more men online than ESPN.com. They reach more females online than iVillage.
The primary age demo is 16-34.
They have 1.4 million registered bands, 350,000 band blogs.
The site attracts 220,000 new registrants daily.
There are 50,000 groups including fashion, health, wellness & fitness, sports and recreation, music, film, TV, etc.
No wonder everyone wants to have a bite of the so-called online social networking. It’s huge!
On the other hand, Rich Ziade of basement.org writes about “Reality Check 2.0“.

I told this to my daughter a few days ago and she created FREE myspace layouts for these users just so she could attract a fraction of these hits. And in just 2 days, her site doubled in hits.
