MySpace #1 US Destination Last Week 381
An anonymous reader writes "Hitwise is reporting that MySpace has reached the top, surpassing Yahoo! Mail as the most visited site on the internet for US users. Seeing a 4300% increase in visits in just two short years, this internet sensation has come quite a long ways.

2) Wait 14 years - thus, 30-year-old still using MySpace
3) Profit!

Google doesn't keep archives of websites permanently (or doesn't make them available if they do). When they re-spider a site they replace their copy with the current data; old pages will disappear from its search results after a few months. Archive.org may do so however, but they're a long way from complete.
