I hope your official website is not a MySpace page. If it is you might want to start thinking about building your own website, talk to me if you need assistance. Don’t ever put all of your web presence into the hands of another website, you have no idea what the future holds for that site and you might be forced into a quick change if something happenes.

Just as the new MySpace logo dropped the word “space, MySpace execs saw their own space to improve the social network evaporate yesterday as News Corp executives put them on notice during an investors call. MySpace was given less than a year to turn the newly redesigned ship around as Chase Carey, News Corp’s president, declared MySpace “a problem”. “The current losses are not acceptable or sustainable. Our current management did not create these losses but they know we have to address them,” he stated. Quarterly losses at MySpace have jumped by $30 million to $156 million.

“Traffic numbers are still not going in the right direction”, continued Carey and “we judge (performance) in quarters, not in years”.

If stats don’t improve at MysSpace in the next few quarters, a sale rather than a shut down is expected.
