We also recently looked at MySpace’s video property here.
Today we learned on Paidcontent.org that while people watch less clips and spend less time watching clips on MySpace, the traffic to video.myspace.com has surpassed all of the other video destinations (google.video, yahoo video, etc) and is already by some metrics larger than YouTube.
