Facebook and MySpace are like chalk 'n' cheese

With talk of Rupert Murdoch attempting to 'offload' MySpace to Yahoo in return for a 25% stake in the company, there's inevitably been another round of discussion in the tech media comparing Facebook to MySpace. Not only is Facebook growing at a faster rate than MySpace -- though as TechCrunch points out, MySpace is still growing fast and Facebook has a long way to go before catching up -- it was Yahoo that tried and failed to buy Facebook last year. However, the problem when trying to predict a winner between the two sites is it's like comparing chalk 'n' cheese. Broadly speaking they cater for different demographics, solve different problems, and in terms of strategy -- with Facebook's new ...

The Facebook effect: MySpace to open up

The Financial Times is reporting that MySpace may soon open itself up to third-party developers -- in a similar strategy to Facebook -- which would see outside companies able to "plug" their web services into the number one social networking site. This is of course in direct response to the huge success of Facebook's recently revamped developer platform which has seen hundreds of companies set up shop on the site. What's most interesting about such a response is that we are now moving into an era where the top networks are using their perceived "openness" as a way of competing -- and in MySpace's case, staying on top. But rather than focusing on opening up as the end game, it's ...

Research: Myspace and Facebook are different class

In my recent post 'Facebook and MySpace are like chalk n cheese', I argued that the two sites have contrasting user-bases, and cater for different needs. ... essentially I see the two giants generally catering for the needs of different demographics hence their distinct differences in terms of layout and functionality. MySpace I suggested was much more a place for teens, and I borrowed Richard Wray's analogy of the site being like a teenager's bedroom: messy, decorated with posters, and with irritating music constantly in the background. In contrast -- and I was of course generalising -- Facebook reflected its college roots, and places greater emphasis on various kinds of career / social life networking, rather than self-expression. What I failed to ...

MySpace, a place for finding talent?

NewTeeVee reports that MySpace, along with the FOX network and the Producers Guild of America, is launching a new video competition, which aims to seek out new television production talent via the social networking site. Dubbed the "Storyteller Challenge", starting September 4, MySpace will ask for 5-to 7-minute television "pilots" to be submitted and voted on by users of the site. Two winners will be rewarded with a $25,000 pay-cheque, as well as the possibility of a development deal with FOX. As TechCrunch notes, MySpace has already had success with their short form webisode, "Prom Queen", which delivered over 15 million streams during its first season and is readying for a second one. And of course there was the MyMovie Mashup, ...

Lonelygirl15 gets some "exclusive" MySpace company

The season finale of the hit web video series, Lonelygirl15, is to be available exclusively on MySpace. Lonelygirl15 already has an ad-revenue sharing deal with YouTube and Revver, so this is a major coup for the News Corp-owed social networking site. And in an interesting and innovative twist, the final episode will actually be twelve episodes, published every hour from 8am Pacific time this Friday -- turning the whole thing into a twelve hour event. A sure way to generate buzz and drive a concentrated amount of traffic to MySpaceTV. The MySpace deal is testament to the success that Lonelygirl and its recent spin-off, Kate Modern, are having. As NewTeeVee notes: The team behind Lonelygirl Greg Goodfried, Miles Beckett, Mesh Flinders ...

"Quarterlife" exclusive to MySpaceTV

MySpace has bagged itself some more professionally-produced online video content, to "air" exclusively on the social networking site. "Quarterlife", a production developed by Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, creators of the TV shows "My So-Called Life" and "Thirtysomething", will debut on MySpaceTV on November 11. "Quarterlife" will follow the lives of six twenty-somethings and "chart the sometimes excruciating, sometimes comic, often emotional experiences that comprise coming of age as a part of the digital generation." In classic post-modernist fashion, the lead character, Dylan, is a video blogger (in the trailer she coughs on camera, as if to demonstrate her authenticity). "Quarterlife" provides yet more evidence of News Corp.'s strategy to make MySpace a home where user-generated and professionally-produced content can ...

"MySpace Fashion" launches

After over a year of existing in "Beta" status, MySpace has launched a revamped version of its fashion community, dubbed "MySpace Fashion", to co-inside with start of next week's New York Fashion Week. As with the official MySpace communities for music and film, MySpace Fashion is hoping to build on the grassroots enthusiasm for fashion that already exists on the social networking site, and at the same time help the marketing departments of mainstream media and big brands reach those fashion conscious users. From Business Week: The move reflects MySpace's strategy of identifying the communities of interest that have grown organically and the building official member communities around them, turning once-grassroots groups into content platforms for old-media companies and consumer brands. ...

MySpace buys Photobucket

Readers of this blog will know that the two companies have had an on/off relationship, with Photobucket owing much of its success to News Corp.s social networking site, before they were blocked for breaking its terms of service. After a stand off which lasted nearly two weeks that involved a fair bit of MySpace bashing, Photobucket suddenly announced that the two had kissed and made up -- leading many to speculate on what had motivated the u-turn. Now it appears that two have been in acquisition talks ever since.From Valleywag:Like a squabbling couple finally realizing they cant live without eachother -- or a ...

Unlike traditional stations on air, this time jumping right to online shows. MySpace isn't commenting, but the idea seems a perfectly valid one. Firstly, Murdoch and co. have a background in telly, and access to plenty of talent and muscle in the entertainment industry. Align this with the biggest social networking site on the planet -- and the chances of success, on paper at least, look high. Of ...

Official: MySpace Platform

In a Q&A session last night at the Web 2.0 conference, Rupert Murdoch and MySpace co-founder Chris DeWolfe revealed details on the much rumored plans for the MySpace Platform, a way for third-parties to develop applications that directly interact with and leverage MySpace data and functionality ala Facebook's Platform. A few key take-aways... Prior to the full launch of its developer platform, MySpace will publish a directory of existing third party widgets and tools to help users find good content to add to their MySpace profiles. In the next month or two, MySpace will roll out a full developer platform, which, as TechCrunch notes, "will essentially be a set of APIs and a new markup language that will allow third party developers to ...

MySpace to launch online games channel

News Corp.-owned MySpace has announced a partnership with casual-game maker Oberon Games, part of Oberon Media, to create a dedicated "channel" on the social networking site, featuring social games. Scheduled to launch in January, MySpace Games will allow members of the site to play games against each other, as well as embed game widgets onto their profiles. Although, in many ways this is nothing new, since many third-party widgets are web-based games (built using Flash), such as those from FlashFlashRevolution, a competing gaming social network I've written about a few times here on ZDNet. More interestingly, Oberon will be providing a developer toolkit when the MySpace "channel" launches, according to Webware, which could help lower the barriers further for producing game widgets ...

MySpace China, a place for censorship

The look and feel of MySpace China may resemble its US cousin, but its editorial policy couldnt be more different. Perhaps an inevitable concession to doing business in the country, News Corp. and its local Chinese partners have implemented filtering software to prohibit users from discussing topics such as Taiwanese independence, the Fa Lun religious movement or the Dalai Lama. Additionally, users are encouraged to report misconduct by others.From Texyt.com:Users are told to click a button if they spot any misconduct by other users. This misconduct includes actions such as endangering national security, leaking state secrets, subverting the government, undermining national unity, spreading rumors or disturbing the social order – according to the sites terms and conditions.Attempts to post on ...

MySpace: Worth it, or not?

UPDATE: What a difference five months makes in gauging the economic marketing worth of MySpace to advertisers? If the "nuggets of wisdom" gleaned by Forbes from research presented by MySpace at an advertising pitch day held in Beverly Hills to target its marketers ad budgets is any indication:When a MySpace user talks, her friends listen. And when a MySpace user talks about your brand, your advertising dollars go far.How far, exactly? Last November (see below) I reported on challenges underscored at AdTech NYC by Sarah Fay, President, Isobar, in measuring the effectiveness of online social networking spends to justify their worth to marketers: “We struggle with valuation of the metrics,” Fay said, discussing an Adidas campaign at MySpace, in particular.Struggle ...

MySpace wins Photobucket, Over Google?

UPDATE: May 30: "MySpace wants photobucket? Where is Google!", I asked earlier this month (see story below). Alas, News Corp. is the lucky buyer after all, at an undisclosed price. "The acquisition is a perfect strategic fit for us that reinforces FIM's leadership in user-generated content," said Peter Levinsohn, President of Fox Interactive Media. MAY 8, 2007: News Corp s Fox Interactive Media (FIM) nears deal to buy Photobucket, is the latest M & A industry chatter/rumor. Photobucket allows its users to store photos and videos and then easily drop them into their pages on prominent sites like Facebook, eBay and particularly MySpace, a FIM property. The deal is not yet complete, but the parties have ironed out major issues and are focusing on finer points, according to this ...

Web 2.0 copycats: Google stumbles, MySpace digs

Yahoo checked out Google’s ecommerce play Tuesday, Google stumbled upon a roll of the dice Web site recommendation tool yesterday and MySpace digs social news aggregation and voting today. Where is the innovation? Is Web 2.0 one big copycat playground now?What is MySpace News? News Corp. does not even make it sound extraordinarily compelling: MySpace News aggregates news from around the web and provides MySpace users with the ability to vote on what they think is most interesting.Just what Tom Anderson’s friends were clamoring for! How are the MySpacers adapting? Page one “Top News” is “Fishing for Fellatio,” deemed “didn’t like it,” following 18 votes. The MySpace News link which supposedly leads to a news story, ...

YouTube: What MySpace can teach Google about copyright

Will Google CEO Schmidt's "wait for the tools" banter on media giant Viacom's $1 billion copyright infringement legal claim at the Wall Street Journal's All Things Digital conference this week be his famous last words? SEE: Google CEO tows Google line at D5 Think Schmidts' recent "Big Brother" musings reflect a Google disregard for the privacy of others? Schmidt's condescending retort to Viacom illustrates a Google rules belief, no matter who or what tries to spoil the Google free content party. Why is fearless Google and its fearless leader so smug? Why not! After all, if the leading search engine need merely announce a quarter baked "open" software effort designed purely to foster its worldwide dominance--Google Gears--to receive near unanimous acclaim, as well as cheers for the end ...

MySpace Friends: Rupert Murdoch is NOT the boss!

Rupert Murdoch is not the boss of me! So believes Eli Pariser, Executive Director, MoveOn.org Political Action, and he wants fellow civic organizers to believe the same. In a joint panel appearance today with MySpace Senior Vice President for Public Affairs, Jeff Berman, at the Personal Democracy Forum underway in New York City, Pariser called MySpace on its claim to be a "truly democratic platform." Pariser underscored the power MySpace holds as the "new town hall,' and challenged the social networking phenomenon to act lke the "democratic platform" it says it is. What is MySpace doing that is undemocratic? Grievances include: A Net Neutrality profile page disappeared, Barack Obama campaign took over Obama volunteer profile, MySpace blocks Revver videos, No redress available. What does MySpace have to say in ...

MySpace to 175 million friends: It's OUR Space, not yours!

“Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you if you’re young at heart,” so croons Frank Sinatra. Maybe, but the very young are getting their hearts broken at MySpace!It apparently is not an easy task to maintain over 175 million friendships, even if Friend in Chief is founding MySpacer Tom Anderson.The latest it’s not really your space flap at MySpace is a doozy, but not an unexpected one."Users are in control” packs the same mythical punch as “every vote counts,” I said last October in MySpace, Facebook, NBC: Brands rule, not users, a very apt metaphor as it happens!(See Web 2.0 ‘users in control’: Of who, and to what means? and Facebook to students: Zuckerberg and VCs are ...
