Would you buy a 500 million dollar website to make it offline all the time...
 

Seems RUPERT MURDOCH IS DOING A GOOD JOB OF IT ON MYSPACE...

sure.. if i have that much money to waste....

whatever who cares he got gogle to give him 900 million he already doubled his investment he wins

Working fine for me. Is it offline for you?

No!!! not for real?

Wow, that's Amazing.


Lars, how well did you do with myspace share? still having some?

I still think AOL should buy myspace.. they could implement AOL chat rooms into myspace as that's the right demographic to be pushing their paid internet service at. Then they could easily merge the adult myspace users into their love.com site.

AOL could become a massive player in the Free web services on the net with a buy like that.. They have all the right pieces to put it together. Instead of slowly losing their market share they could grow big time.

You are right Crockett. Myspace would have fit into AOL's biz plan seamlessly and perfectly. It would have made a lot of sense for them.

Unfortunately those folks over there just don't seem to have a lot of sense.

I would do it the same

One of my friends is a programmer for myspace. I said the same thing to him and he explained that they're pushing so much traffic that Microsoft is working with them to test their database connectivity theories. On average they have over 500,000 simultaneous db connections at anytime. They're exceeding the limitations that Microsoft thought even possible. This combined with Google dropping 900 mil, I'd say Murdoch has a high class problem!

:helpme

myspace makes mad bling

nice stats guys

i would shut down myspace, and i'm totally positive about that... :1orglaugh

Tom must be pissed at the Google search deal. That money could have been his!

On top of that, he could still have Myspace to sell for billions

Murdoch is doing very well with his MP strategy.

I believe myspace was brought for a estimated 580 million pounds, not 500 million. Since the Rupert Murdoch has spect a enormous amount of money on making the site even more popular, im not sure if you people noticed in the states, but in england all the Radio dj's suddenly started talking about how great myspace was. Now don't tell me that wasnt a large backhand comin from some where and some one.

Also look at the amount of other celebs you can find on myspace, all brought and paid for i guarantee, i mean celebs don't even goto award ceromonies without the added incentive of a free goodie bag :) (30k's worth)

Like every one here knows you got to speculate to accumulate and Rupert Murdoch has deep pockets :)

Least he has his friends... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

It was bought for $580 million USD. Not pounds.

Bah slip of the fingers force of habit and all that :)
