MySpace to Charge For Streaming Music? For REAL?!

MySpace to Charge For Streaming Music? For REAL?!

See that? Up there, in the headline? You see? I used not only a question mark, but followed it with an exclamation point, calling attention to just how goddamn ridiculous this concept is. It’s no secret MySpace isn’t exactly the belle of the social networking ball anymore, and as such they’re losing a ton of revenue. Hell, their ad deal with Google is up for renewal next month, and something tells me Google isn’t quite going to pay the $900 million they did last time.

9 Steps to Creating a Social Networking Site That Kills Facebook

The opportunity to overthrow the social networking powerhouse is now greater than ever. Just think, you (yes, you) could be the next Tom from MySpace or Mark Zuckerberg. Pretty cool, right?

Big Brother is no longer just watching. Myspace to start selling user data.

MySpace? What’s MySpace? Oh just a website that we can social network with each other. Instead of calling me, you can now send me a message or post on my comments. Hmmm.. that sounds like something I need to do. Oh great, a new friend request. Let me just update my profile and tell everyone where I live, how old I am and a list of my fears and class schedule. We all have been there and we all scrolled down through the user agreement, not even caring what it said, and clicked accept.
