I am not a MySpace user, but for those of you who are...you might be interested in this news that came out on Nov. 27.
News Corp.'s popular online social network, MySpace, plans to launch Facebook-style "news feeds" in the next 30 to 45 days, Fox Interactive Media President Peter Levinsohn said Monday.
News feeds, which alert users to what their friends and colleagues are doing, have been one of the most popular features of MySpace rival Facebook.
"The concept of a news feed is something we are very focused on, and we'll be well down the path in the next 30 to 45 days," Levinsohn said at a media conference.
He said his company also planned to let users express different versions of themselves by creating more than one profile, for example one for family, one for friends and one for work.
The new feature will let you "express yourself in all those different segments," Levinsohn said.
I remember when the news feeds first came out on Facebook and everyone freaked out trying to push petitions so I am sure MySpace users will react the same way. Most people I know are Facebook AND MySpace users so it might not come as big as a shock to them but we'll see. Oh yeah, it's funny how many stories are in the NY Times and LA Times about Facebook and MySpace.
