MySpace: Claiming more visitors than it really gets?

I have written frequently about CyWorld the Korean home of the"minihompy" and millions of users. I was pretty blown away to see MySpace make claims that it had more vivits than Cyworld. Since there is about 80% broadband penetration in Korea, and maybe 64% in the USA, it seemed like big numbers for MySpace. This story questions the MySpace numbers and suggests that for MySpace, publicity and MSM attention my lead to a chilling of the coolness factor. I will check with my students for anecdotal updates.
