Where is the arbitrary member coming from. I've never seen any advertisements. I'm certain it can't just be word of mouth given such high numbers.</p> I’ve always been quite curious… does anyone know how are these personal video startups (JTV and Ustream) are even getting their initial traffic during their baby stages?

You have to be careful with alexa and compete rankings – they work for destinations, but not for enabling platforms. Kyte is an enabling platform and more than 97% of Kyte’s traffic comes from destinations, such as http://www.thisis50.com/

comScore works better for overall metrics. Here’s a comScore example that measures unique’s on the web in the U.S. until February: http://www.kyte.com/blog/kyte_comscore_stats/

This doesn’t include international traffic and also no mobile traffic, but it gives you a good indication. In March, Kyte traffic double again, and it looks like April will double again.

Ustream is by far the only one with consistent interesting shows and events. The motorcross they did last week in H.264 was incredible.

Congrats Ustream.
