As the company searches for Bartz’s replacement, its biggest obstacle is likely the track record of past CEOs after they moved under Yahoo’s figurative purple umbrella.” Read More > http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/08/us-yahoo-ceo-analysis-idUSTRE7870DC20110908

According to Ryan Singel 2010, “Facebook has long been a one-way valve. You put data in, so you can connect with friends, and then you can’t get it out and use it the way you would like to, even as the company is trying to corner the market on your identity. And Thursday night Google called out its rival on such data-portability hypocrisy: It banned the huge social network from allowing its users to connect their Gmail contacts to see who among them are also on Facebook to get the friending frenzy started.” Continued here > http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/11/google-facebook-data/ #socialmedia #datasharing #import #gmail #email #contacts @Epicenter @Wired @Google @Facebook @Jerrycallistejr

MySpace Music is MySpace Music because indie bands attract everyday people to MySpace’s social network. The least they could do is compensate the struggling independent artists with some form of royalty compensation package (More to come on this topic soon).
