Can anyone else not find Myspace? Has it really shrunk that much?

According to Alexa, MySpace is still at the #18 position among the most trafficked sites on the internet:

I'm not sure which I trust more: the Nielson report, or Alexa. Unless Nielson actually installed tracking code on each of those websites or got traffic information from the respective companies, I don't see how they generated their rankings. The same goes for Alexa. I doubt that either ranking is particularly accurate.

I think they must be grouping it under Fox Interactive Media which has a large chunk on the graph and encompasses things like MySpace and probably IGN.

Except Picasa, YouTube, etc. are not part of the big Google square. Weird.

Surprised that Livejasmin is bigger than Linkedin.
