Found via Digg, Smaran Dayal looks at an Alexa comparison of YouTube and MySpace over the past six months which shows that although MySpace shows much more pageviews than YouTube, YouTube’s reach and traffic rank is much higher.

myspace has way more
What about vois.com a hear they are new?
The myspaceians probably don’t have the alexa toolbar. Then again can’t you add YouTube videos to your websites? It could be counting that too.
I believe it myspace is getting polluted with to many promoters – so many infact that you cant even find real members anymore. id rather go on bebo.com or facebook.com or vois.com any day. I barely check my myspace account any more. Myspace better do something fact to their site to get rid of the pollution or they will become an asterisk in history like the betamax
I have long ago dismissed Alexa as any kind of true traffic picture of a website. It is beyond distorted. Please use one of the more reliable sources for getting your information so that you don’t spew ignorance.
I don’t care what anyone says, myspace is awesome.
i want to know more about youmyspace. maybe we can be friends
myspace is way better than youtube
i think myspace because mostly everbody that i know is on there and if u ask someone like mayde off the streets they well mostly say myspace
You must be attempting to stir up some mess. Regardless to what the stats say, My Space is and will be the talk of the town for some time. Why do naysayers always try to bust up a good thing by causing controversy? I was searching for something else and found this page, so I thought I would comment to stop the madness. Of course it won’t do much, but maybe a few people will step up and this kind of “research” will not cause people to doubt what they love doing. My Space is still a community, don’t be upset if you are not on the inside track. I have thousands of friends and I know all of them! And I have a life and I travel, and I run my own business! And so what if people use my pages to promote their stuff. Who cares? Lastly, remember this: the only reason I found you is because you said My Space so don’t underestimate the power of what you don’t understand. You don’t see anyone bragging about YouTube. Except to say that it is only what it is because of My Space!

AOL Canada Founder and Former Chief Executive Officer Appointed President and CEO of MedStrong International
Thursday January 18, 9:45 am ET
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Jan. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — MedStrong International Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: MDSI; MDSIW) announced today that Stephen J. Bartkiw has been appointed by the Board of Directors to serve as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Internet company, effective immediately. Bartkiw brings over 20 years experience in technology, Internet and interactive services to MedStrong as the founder and former CEO of AOL Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of America Online.
Positioning Bartkiw at the company’s helm falls on the heels of MedStrong’s recent announcement of plans to adopt a Web 2.0 business platform and launch a social networking site.
“Having Stephen Bartkiw onboard as President and CEO perfectly aligns with the company’s new direction,” said Gary Schultheis, the company’s former President who concurrently becomes the new chairman of MedStrong International. “[Stephen's] reputation and depth of industry expertise is an invaluable resource for MedStrong.”
Bartkiw’s depth of experience includes positions at two of the largest media and communications companies in Canada before joining AOL in 1995 to launch a uniquely Canadian online service as founder of AOL Canada, where he also served as CEO until 2001. He has continued his involvement in the rapidly changing industry as a director of both public and private technology companies.
“As interactive services and technologies continue to mature and evolve, they become more and more ingrained into the fabric of our every day lives,” said Bartkiw from MedStrong headquarters in Delray Beach, Florida. “With the company’s new focus, we intend to build communities of interest by leveraging member generated content as the catalyst for communication with like-minded individuals.”

Can’t argue with Alexa. Youtube is is becoming more popular. Myspace is pissing off it’s users with constant changes in their over-zealous anti-spam campaign.
