News Corp.'s MySpace recorded 38.7 billion U.S. page views last month, compared with 38.1 billion for Yahoo Inc., according to comScore Media Metrix.

How many internauts are we? These datas are for only one month. So, that mean that some are really addict to those sites and are using them really bad. I tried to do the figures but it doesn't add up.

Les escargots angeliques ont jété
la baignoire par la fenêtre.
Helàs! Ou se trouve le grand magasin?
Ou se trouve Verlaine, qui a respire
au coeur du moulin-a-vent d’aujourd’hui?

Dévant le glace, le doux, et le beau jour finis.
Il y a quelqu’un? Il y a Verlaine,
son nez defoncé et sa tête courroucé
et ses yeux ecoutent à la porte au grand Néant.

Do you know how many of us (internauts) we are on the planet?
I know, some might not have the internet at home but use it at work, class, cyber cafe, but still. We are like what...5B some on the planet and not everyone is an internaut.

Good point!
If this planet were to be mostly filled with this kind of person, the number should be correct, I guess.

If not, it's merely a number to trick people just as money is so, after all.
You know some forums increase view counts of each thread automatically day after day.

Re: I tried to do the figures but it doesn't add up.
After rereading the article, I saw that they are 130M visitors.
So, it's not as bad as I tought. 38B pages/month/130M visitors = CC 300 pages/visitor = CC 10 pages/day/visitor.

I wonder though, if every one visitor click even just once a month on a advertising link and Yahoo/MySpace, get 1 penney for it.
THAT is interesting.

One of my boys probably views around 30 to 40 pages a day at MySpace.

Which part? The equation? The get a penny per click? Or, why are those sites so interesting to so many people?

I'll have to visit those sites to see what they all are about. Does your boy also come in here sometimes, may be not for the forum but to play games?

Man! Have you ever visit MySpace? I understand now.
I just visit it for 5 minutes, luckily my gf wasn't here but she is just about to come back from shopping, so I left the site. Just checked Bobbi Billard. Ouf!

I just visited the site. I know that if you want to see more of some, you have to register. I didn't b'cause my gf was just about to get back and she is actually here at the moment so I don't know when I'll be able to visit that site again.
BTW Long time no read, how's it going my friend?

It goes well mate.

Just finished up my finals for this semester and I'm now enjoying a nice little break from school.
