I don't consider myself an immediate fan of MySpace, mainly due to my educational background in communication design. The interface on MySpace is a real catastrophe and a plain graphic embaressment. It's also a real drag to manage as a user. However, the business aspect intrigues me.
Forbes has a big feature on Rupert Murdoch and News Corps. future plans with MySpace. Last weeks news that MySpace is in talks with eBay allowing users to buy and sell items on each others profiles would probably be the deal of the year, imo even bigger than Googles purchase of YouTube. Forbes also states that MySpace is making $25 million/month in ad revenue and will break even on it's initial purchase ($580m) in June 2007. (That number also include revenues from other internet operations but still, $25m/month is quite an impressive figure). There are plenty opinions and rumours flying around concerning the future of MySpace but one certain Mr Murdoch seem to have made up his mind regarding the community and it's users being his first choice of weaponry in the fight for new media control.
The special feature in BusinessWeek on the architectual development of Shanghai is also quite interesting. I'm in the process of planning my trip to SE Asia and China this summer and Shanghai is definitely part of that route. This issue of BW also has an article on Jeff Zucker and his presumable struggle with the digital era.



A friend commented that my notebooks resemble the demented scribbles of Kevin Spacey's murderous character in 'Seven'. What can I say? My weeks look like this nowadays - chaotic but very inspirational!
This one deserved some serious credit. It's rare and feel-good enough for anyone that grabs this track to treat it with the greatest of appreciation. Best accompanied by a group of friends @ 2 am!
