MySpace is #1

MySpace gains top ranking of US Web sites.

Online teen hangout MySpace.com ranked as the No. 1 U.S. Web site last week, displacing Yahoo Inc.'s top-rated e-mail gateway and Google Inc.'s search site, Internet tracking firm Hitwise said on Tuesday.
News Corp.'s MySpace accounted for 4.46 percent of all U.S. Internet visits for the week ending July 8, pushing it past Yahoo Mail for the first time and outpacing the home pages for Yahoo, Google and Microsoft's MSN Hotmail.
Wow! Myspace didn't even exist a couple of years ago. I see that is owned by Newscorp which is owned by Aussie rich guy Rupert Murdoch.
