    Re: News Corp. boots MySpace CEO

    When I opened my gmail account this morning I was so surprise with Google Buzz. What does can do to our mails? There is no way Googlebuzz or Gmailbuzz, whatever you want to call it, is going to do anything to Facebook. It's the most popular social networking site there is, unless Google can make a better site – though they probably are capable. The way Googlebuzz is supposed to work is close to Facebook and Twitter, but it's just as much a bookmarking site like Digg. I'd even get <a rev="vote for" title="Gmail Buzz (Googlebuzz) tackles social networking" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/Payday-Loans/"><strong>payday loans</strong></a> to put a big bet down that FB isn't impacted by Google's entry into the social networking arena at all.

    Miracle workers

    What does Murdoch want, a miracle worker?

    If anyone thinks MySpace can make the kind of money that justified its acquisition costs and turns in an acceptable profit on top of that is a loony, and a proven loony at that.

    People only 'play' on social networking sites for a laff. Except all the media whores trying to be 'down with the kids' and 'interfacing with the listener'. They're like Hugh Abbot from The Thick of It.

    Getting that job must feel like Darth Vader's just promoted you to Captain and put you in charge of crushing the rebels, only pausing to dispose of the corpse of your predecessor.

    Shame Really

    It's a pity to see MySpace go down the plughole like it has, I prefer it to Farcebook and did make use of it for a while, til everyone jumped ship.
