i agree with Prescott – myspace are well past their peak. besides, dispalying lots of paid content from already established media and fashion brands isn’t near as valuable as the ability of sites like fashionising.com which give upcoming designers etc a place to get out there and be seen

Oh wait. Yes, I have. I’m sorry, but I just don’t have it in me right now to type it all out again. Besides, it was just ramblings anyway. You didn’t want to hear me go on and on about this, right?

The only problem with this endeavor is the fact that all content on MySpace is user-generated, and therefore not trusted. Since MySpace is most commonly used as a conduit for info and media (rather than a provider in and of itself), I wonder how many people will look to them for expertise. Or will they simply steal the expertise of their collective user base.

Personally, I think MySpace is past it’s peak and all the brand extensions and media buyouts won’t save them. I fear this may devolve into the online equivalent of E! television, dealing in cheap gossip and “oh my god, look at her boots” stunts. We’ll see.
