Is Justin.tv fading while Ustream.tv is gaining…

Someone on Y Combinator News posted a link to an interesting Alexa chart. I have embedded the chart below using Alexa's new groovy charting service. I could not get the chart to work, so here is a link.

As you can see, Justin is fading (though he is still below 20,000 which is awesome) and Ustream is trending upwards. They are almost at the same spot now. Some on Y Comb are saying Justin is playing around to tweak his Alexa ranking, I don't see anything of the such. Nothing like Jason's attempt last year.

Now, in Justin's defense, what does this traffic chart really mean when people are spending so much time watching his videos. So they may only view the page one time a day but sit on it for 4 hours at a time. This is why Alexa is broken. And actually in this case, all of the stats apps are broken. Same thing with Ustream. Also remember that users might watch Justin's videos elsewhere. When will we be able to capture the entire brand across the web. This part just frustrates the heck out of me.
