SiliconBeat is reporting that, according to comScore Media Metrix, YouTube has been surpassed in traffic by MySpace Videos, whose traffic doubled in July. This seems to be in contradiction with Alexa, which has YouTube continuing to climb above MySpace. According to comScore, YouTube had 16 million visitors in July--a 20% increase over July--compared to MySpace Videos' 20 million. Required reading to understand these conflicting numbers is SiliconBeat's Web Stats Are Broken. comScore puts MySpace second only to Yahoo! Video, which it says had 21.1 million visitors in July, exceeding YouTube's growth with a 28% increase over June.Filed under: Video, Web services, Yahoo!
Last night Yahoo!, without much fanfare, launched Yahoo! Video which, as I'm sure you've guessed, is its answer to sites like Google Video and YouTube. Yahoo! Video replaces the old video search service and still indexes videos from across the web, but the new service's focus is on user-uploaded videos. It occupies a middle ground between Google Video and YouTube, offering more features than Google Video like user ratings and comments, "channels" with subscription features, and tagging (though download functionality is missing), and skipping much of the complexity of YouTube. Uploaded videos and videos on the web at large are all rolled into one, which has advantages and disadvantages. You can still comment and rate on web videos, which is nice, but in order to actually watch them you'll have to click through to wherever they're hosted, which can be obnoxious. Overall, though, the service is clean and impressive and I think it will fare better than other services which have tried to nose in on the YouTube/Google space. You can read more about the launch at the Yahoo! Search Blog.

In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
