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.

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!

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.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
