Nielsen Netratings reports MySpace gets 57 Million unique visitors each month. Ebizmba says MySpace gets 60 million uniques. Quantcast says the number is 47 million. I don’t know what Alexa thinks, but regardless, the number seems to be growing. :-)

Just for fun, here’s a glimpse at where the traffiic is going among social / Web 2.0 sites:
