Tech: Good luck: MySpace is looking regain some of that lost momentum
- Everybody in the company is upset that we didn’t keep going when we had the real momentum. Regaining momentum is always much harder than keeping momentum going.
- News Corp.’s Jonathan Miller • On losing the momentum that made MySpace one of the Internet’s hottest stars for about a year, until they screwed that up and nobody cared anymore. How does the social media company plan to get it back? By differentiating itself in the marketplace. They have some pretty good music offerings down the pipe, and they want to open up their infrastructure to developers (who aren’t 13-year-old girls that know how to put sparkles on their page). But – much like every Internet-related article we post that mentions News Corp. – Miller suggests they’re gonna charge for certain parts of MySpace. That’s OK man – we’ll just use Facebook instead. That’s where all our friends are. Just continue to follow the News Corp. party line. • source
