News Corp to MySpace: Shape Up or Ship Out

11-04-2010, 06:45 PM

?We?ve been clear that MySpace is a problem.?

?The current losses are not acceptable or sustainable.?

They must show improvement in ?in quarters, not in years.?

News Corp. president Chase Carey spoke to investors earlier this week and everyone is talking about it. He made it clear that the 70 million drop in ad and search revenue wasn?t going to be tolerated and that without a major improvement MySpace?s days were numbered.

MySpace has been dead for years as a competitor in the social networks.

Should You Email Your Members?

I haven't surfed Myspace in a long time.

There was a change or something, I don't know what, but I didn't like
using like before.

I didn't try to analyze it; just drifted away.

not very user friendly, facebook is, if i could compare it to something its like the geocities of interfaces.

im sure someone will buy it then redirect the traffic or mail the hell out of the users.

Right. Starting with their code.

It's loaded with errors, crashes out, spyware, etc.. I do not know anyone who openly admits they use MySpace anymore.

still has alexa 35 and is great for music. they just have to make the design more minimal, kill all the clunky custom layouts and ten music players loading when you open the page and focus on the entertainment/artist aspect.

I'd agree if that wasn't the reason they had grown to what they were in the first place. They should just remove the ability to openly CSS one's profile and just have an interface where people can change appearance. They should do away with allowing autoplaying videos or music for that matter too.

True that did spur a lot of growth but people are now used to not being able to change their profile because of facebook. If they wanted to they could get a few 1000 profile types made and host them themselves which should cut down on slow loading pages that rely on loading graphic after graphic from 3rd party websites.

Something like that...I realize that people are used to FB now but changing MySpace to be exactly like Facebook would be a huge mistake given they would have to somehow regain people. TBH I'm not even sure they shouldn't just rehaul it into a completely new site and do away with a profile site altogether...there hasn't really been a case yet of a social media site dropping off the map that's been able to regain stature.

myspace is like any business that rocketed to success due to circumstances and not by design (i.e. facebook). bad habits become institutional as does a general lack of direction, innovation and poor concept of why users are there to begin with and what their actual needs are.

Facebook should buy Myspace and integrate the music portion of Myspace into Facebook.

That's one area on Facebook that is sorely lacking.

Myspace is rolling out a complete re-vamp of everything this month

they are not trying to compete with myspace but trying to bring themselves into a whole new niche.

they are still pretty huge with music and band sites and a lot of their revamp focuses on that.

i think it looks promising
