Social Networks will help shape the future of our media landscape. That's why sites like MySpace are so important.

I agree that the acquisition is worth every penny. A encourage each person to view anyone's profile and view the information about themselves on their homepage. Notice that each type of information is labeled and divided into neat little database cells. "Movies, Music, Books, etc"

A total marketing dream. If anything else, all that DATA is worth 580million.

Many of you have probably seen this flash animation regarding google [albinoblacksheep.com] and a proposed view of the future with them. If what they say is true - anyone who wants any part in it needs a base like MySpace.

Of course, the poster who said that the only reason people would flock from MySpace to another is if the other were more functional, easier, and more relevant. Yet another poster asked why Google was asleep on this one. If my hunch is right they are probably not even worried about the acquisition and developing a friend network unlike any we have ever seen.

Is it me or does google seem amazingly benevolant? They really took that old addage, "Information is power" to the next level. Does anyone know any trash about em that should marr my perception? Because I am seriously in love with them.
