YouTube has established itself at the top of the league of the new generation of community websites by becoming even more popular than MySpace, according to research.

The video sharing site has taken a 3.9% share of global internet visits a day compared with 3.35% for MySpace, according to internet analysis company Alexa.

YouTube’s popularity has grown immensely over the first six months of the year. In May its reach outgrew that of the BBC’s websites.

According to Nielsen/NetRatings, YouTube’s American user base grew by 297% in the first half of the year.
