Poor MySpace

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

For all their traffic and the web 2.0-ness they bring to News Corp it seems to me that they’re always treated like second class citizens by their parent company. At least that’s how it looks in the news. See this article. Many of the articles I read these days have News Corp working on pushing out MySpace as part of this deal or that.

Now, maybe I’ve got this all wrong. Maybe News Corp is one company that has figured out it needs to set it’s technology pieces free of the rest if they’re going to grow and bring back higher returns than they can do while tied to the rest of the organization.

That’d be nice. I’m going to go with that as my assumption.
