More evidence that blogs continue to grow in importance. According to a report from Hitwise Myspace has become the most visited Internet domain.

“www.myspace.com has surpassed Yahoo! Mail as the most visited domain on the Internet for US Internet users. To put MySpace’s growth in perspective, if we look back to July 2004 myspace.com represented only .1% of all Internet visits. This time last year myspace.com represented 1.9% of all Internet visits. With the week ending July 8, 2006 market share figure of 4.5% of all the US Internet visits, myspace.com has achieved a 4300% increase in visits over two years and 132% increase in visits since the same time last year.”

The Hitwise post also has some interesting statistics on myspace’s dominance in the most frequent search terms.
