Nielsen//NetRatings has released its August traffic report for social networking, blogs, and video sites. In the report, Facebook shows 117% growth since August of last year to 19 million unique visitors, while MySpace still grew at a healthy 23% pace to 60 million uniques. On the video side of things, Veoh was the biggest gainer, up 346% from August of last year to nearly 3 million monthly uniques. MySpace video actually lost traffic, shrinking 6% to 16.7 million uniques, while YouTube was up 66%.
An interesting item to note in the blog statistics is that the entertainment blog TMZ actually draws more unique visitors than major blogging communities comprised of millions of users such as LiveJournal and Xanga.

Nope, the MySpace numbers drop is misleading. A year ago our video channel was accessd by the vids.myspace.com virt domain. However, earlier this year we launched MySpacetv.com as a more robust video site. The vids.myspace.com traffic may have gone down bc people are accessing our video channel now by going directly to MySpacetv.com. The vids.myspace.com virtual domain now redirects to MySpacetv.com.
Myspace has lost its way and now is just a “cluster-mash” of web wannabe’s startved for their 15 minutes.
