Website               Page Views October 2005
Yahoo                 43 billion
Time Warner           30 billion 
MSN                   21 billion
My Space            11.6 Billion
Google               6.6 billion  

?Yahoo had 43 billion page views last month, Time Warner had 30
billion, and MSN had 21 billion. Google just wasn't as busy. Its users
generated 6.6 billion views. That's just over half the number
generated by News Corp.'s (NWS) social-networking sensation MySpace,
which had 11.6 billion.?

report.?

?The site has more page views than any Internet destination except
Yahoo! (YHOO ), Time Warner/AOL (TWX ), and MSN (MSFT ). It has nearly
twice the number of page views as Google (GOOG ) which logged 6.6
billion in October.?

? Facebook is much smaller, with 3.3 billion page views in October.?

Thanks Bobbie. Can you kindly confirm the net revenue figures for me.
