YouTube has taken the top spot in popularity among Web 2.0 websites according to Alexa's latest numbers. The site is taking up 3.9% of worldwide internet visits, compared with 3.35% for MySpace, the #2 site.
According to Nielsen/NetRatings, YouTube's user base increased by 297% from January through June.
Along with the success of the site comes an increasing price tag, some estimating upwards of $1 billion being the market value of YouTube.
"YouTube has a far more universal appeal, being pure entertainment with a global appeal," said Dan Calladine, the research director at digital agency network Isobar.
"MySpace's levels have been moving within the same range since April, but YouTube seems to be climbing more steeply than ever."
The average visitor spends 28 minutes on YouTube, with men 20% more likely to visit the site than women.

Microsoft’s Dave Weinstein warned online gamers at the Gamefest conference in Seattle that the big MMPORGs like World of Warcraft are being increasingly being targeted by hackers, stealing account details and virtual kit before flogging them for as much as £5,000 online to desperate gamers.
The individual items in a high-level characters kits could sell for hundreds and thousands of pounds apiece. According to Weinstein:
“For a lot of the customers out there, there is more store value on their MMO characters than there is on the credit card with which they pay for the account.”
The police are really good at understanding someone stole my credit card and ran up a lot of money. It's a lot harder to get them to buy into 'someone stole my magic sword.”
