Seriously. Myspace is just the whole "make your own homepage" concept all over again, but this time with a built in way to search for other homepages that look as crappy as yours.

Two things:
1. I believe the Real Player loads the real.com page in its "minibrowser", so anyone who uses Real and doesn't shut off the minibrowser goes there regularly.
2. These ratings are generally gathered from clueless people who have let the survey companies install web bugs on their computer. These are exactly the kind of people who use Real Player.

I tried to post the above article on my Myspace message board, but it never actually gets posted (gets filtered out). I ran it through a l33tsp34k filter and it will post just fine.
Kind of scary, if only because people probably don't expect the service to do that kind of filtering.
