CNN reports that ComScore’s recently released July information indicates that YouTube is only the 3rd most popular video site, behind Yahoo Video and MySpace Video - conflicting with recent reports that YouTube’s share of global internet traffic recently surpassed MySpace. So who’s right? Well, both. In a sense. The ComScore report only looks at the US traffic, while the Alexa data used to support the Gaurdian article from a few weeks ago uses global data. In either position, Youtube has grown massively over the last few months - and the wealth of traffic to the leading video sites shows that online video is penetrating further and further into the mainstream.

Great read over at Business 2.0 about the upcoming US launch of Korean Social Network Cyworld.  According to the article, Cyworld is incredibly attractive to teens and young adults in Korea alike (90% of all Koreans in their 20s are Cyworld members), and they are hoping to make a similiar splash in the US. While the US version isn’t live yet, a quick look at the original gives hints as to what it might look like. I think the concept is interesting - take a look at the articles description of the store - and has great potential.
