30% of the entire US Internet population use MySpace
digger: Can 51 million people be a fad? The executives at News Corp. and MySpace certainly hope not. The article has some interesting statistics of social websites. Unfortunately digg is not on the list.
me: I too want to know what “unique” means. Sites like myspace don’t care how many accounts you have, where as sites like digg want you do stay with one ID, because you’re voting.
I’m sure with a bit of research it would read something more like: 90% of people ages 12-25 visit myspace every month and they each have an average of 4.6 accounts. The rest are parents watching their kids and a few social deviants. But of course everyone has heard of it by now.

Sweet stuff. Question is: Strong technology centered fan base (digg) vs. poplular non-centralized poofy site with lots of default users (netscape.com). Which is better, and which will last longer?
right now it’s http://www.beta.netscape.com…. what a mouthful.
2,500 year-old sarcophagi uncovered
Egyptian archaeologists have found two ancient sarcophagi (coffins made of stone) close to the pyramids, the head of Egypt’s Supreme Council for Antiquities said on Sunday. They were found about a kilometer south of the pyramids in Giza, dated to the late 26th dynasty, or about 2,500 years old. Cool, eh?
