Webmail still popular? dont see why...
MSN za isnt that impressive seeing as IE7 defaults there. I'd love to see the browser stats for those sites.

What about the awesome, kick@$$, www.bruin-ou.com and www.mrspencer.com websites? Surely this list can't be accurate?

If you just showed the top 11 I am sure I would have been there 
or maybe not...
Well done MyBroadband, those are some impressive figures

How is the use of Alexia a far reflection for any web stats? Alexa gets its statistics from people who have actually installed the Alexa toolbar in their browser, and from other sources it does not mention
Alexa computes traffic rankings by analyzing the Web usage of millions of Alexa Toolbar users and data obtained from other, diverse traffic data sources. The information is sorted, sifted, anonymized, counted, and computed, until, finally, we get the traffic rankings shown in the Alexa service. The process is relatively complex, but if you have a need to know, please read on. http://www.alexa.com/site/help/traffic_learn_more
Alexa's own disclaimer admits to the inaccuracy in its data. I personally don't use Alexa as a reflection of anything.
The traffic data are based on the set of toolbars that use Alexa data, which may not be a representative sample of the global Internet population. To the extent that our sample of users differs from the set of all Internet users, our traffic estimates may over- or under-estimate the actual traffic to any particular site.
In some cases traffic data may also be adversely affected by our "site" definitions. With tens of millions of hosts on the Internet, our automated procedures for determining which hosts are serving the "same" content may be incorrect and/or out-of-date. Similarly, the determinations of domains and home pages may not always be accurate.
Sites with relatively low traffic will not be accurately ranked by Alexa. Alexa's data comes from a large sample of several million Alexa Toolbar users and other traffic data sources; however, the size of the Web and concentration of users on the most popular sites make it difficult to accurately determine the ranking of sites with fewer than 1,000 monthly visitors. Generally, traffic rankings of 100,000 and above should be regarded as not reliable. Conversely, the closer a site gets to #1, the more reliable its traffic ranking becomes.

According to alexa your sites are ranked 425th and 1019th in South Africa. I win.

For sure, its not great but where else can you get an indication of traffic sources for a wide variety of sites form one source? I wouldn't trust it for an absolute measure, but as long as the sites are similar its probably the best indication of relative traffic.

Would be interesting to see a similar list but with sites with forums and how active those forums are.
I know that 4me gets close to a million unique logins (people actually logging in), so it's interesting that the number of unique visitors is half of that.
