Now, no one's going to suggest YouTube has passed MySpace to become the number one trafficked website on the internet (assuming MySpace is even that), but Google's aquisition can claim one thing: #5 on Alexa's rankings.
It's quite an honor, to be moving up a questionably accurate, non-respected, easilly spammed service. Also, not how Google's Orkut is now number 7, giving Google spots 3, 5 and 7, a nice bit of symmetry.
Google should think about linking Orkut to YouTube, maybe just encouraging YouTube users to move over, or giving YouTube users ready-made Orkut accounts. Gotta take advantage of the power of both properties.
