According to a PR Newswire this morning Nielsen NetRatings confirms “Myspace.com‘s market leadership in Social Networking category”: LOS ANGELES, March 1 /PRNewswire/ — MySpace.com, formally launched just over one month ago, today announces it is the number one ranked social networking site in terms of page views, according to Nielsen NetRatings, the leading online measurement tool. “The latest Nielsen statistics validate what our users have been telling us for months,” said Chris DeWolfe, co-founder and President of MySpace.com. “By allowing our users to dictate the features they want, we’ve been able to develop an offering that keeps them coming back.” MySpace.com has garnered an ardent and loyal fan base very quickly thanks to the technological superiority of its offering. MySpace.com is the only site of its kind to integrate blogs, instant messaging, classified listings, voting, groups, user forums, music and other user-created content. MySpace.com has also taken an active role in sponsoring music shows, parties and other events for its online users to socialize offline. “To become the leader in the social networking space in just five months is an accomplishment we’re thrilled about, but we see it as only the beginning,” commented Tom Anderson, co-founder of MySpace.com. In addition to its technological advantages, MySpace.com allows a level of flexibility that is unmatched in the online social networking world. Users are allowed to create personalized web page profiles, which they can then use to link up and communicate with others of similar hobbies and interests. As the site is entirely advertiser-supported, use of the site is free. This exposes what we've all known all along - that nobody goes to Friendster anymore. And that it's lack of funtionality and features - makes it a joke. Now I'm not sure if its MySpace's features, or people themselves - but they sure look like they're having fun over there.

Social networking is definitely going mainstream. I see in Variety that a reality show is being developed based on people meeting through social networking service MySpace. [Note: the article led me to sign up for MySpace, and I will review... [Get Real] I'd be interested in what Stowe thinks about MySpace. I call it the "kitchen sink" of social networking. I'm amazed at just how many features and capabilities it has. For what it seems to lack in heart, soul and passion - it makes up with Rankings, Blogs and Games. They even have classifieds! And Yahoo ads all over the place! But there's something about that place - which (BTW) they claim they have more traffic than Friendster right now.

This is where I'll be tonight - recruiting Tom to start a DLA TV show. MySpace continues to kick assMySpace continues to kick ass 06/30/2004 02:40 AM Networking website offers marketing opportunities for musicians.
Consumers tell us that they mostly find out about new music through their friends, which is exactly what MySpace Music allows users to do online. While musicians can also create profiles on Friendster for friends-of-friends to see, MySpace Music takes the concept a step further by offering band Web pages and music downloads, thus turning the site into a potential marketing tool. Similar to how Napster users can view other users~ music libraries, MySpace users can view each others ~friends~, thus providing MySpace Music artists with considerable exposure and access to their fans. With the buzz on MySpace Music, we expect to see more networking sites offering similar marketing opportunities in the future.

MySpace now has improved their Groups - and added it to their lineup of better blogging, classifieds, very coolio music features and special 'band groups'. MySpace has proven that it really is about the activities and giving people something to do. IM, Ranking and Games seem to be the core activities. Business model? Ads. Sposnorships. Special Band Groups. Watch for even mroe ''premium' features that folks will pay for. How many of them - you ask? Over 2M. Man oh man - I just can't wait for the Reality TV show. Just gotta convince Tom to support the FOAFnet. NBC partners with MySpace to streamNBC partners with MySpace to stream 03/17/2005 03:19 AM The Office on MySpace Even though the leaked pilot met poor reviews on Metafilter, it's interesting that NBC turned to massive social networking group MySpace to launch the American version of The Office. MySpace will stream the whole first episode of The Office on March 16th at 8PM while the episode will air for the first time on NBC March 24th. Maybe BitTorrent has really gotten to them.

The networking website trend, while not
exactly new anymore, is still thriving. While Friendster.com was the
first to reel users into the world of organized online socializing,
MySpace.com has since caught up. Many formal Friendster loyalists have
since moved over to MySpace for its added features such as instant
messaging, blogs, and classifieds. (That~s not to say that Friendster
doesn~t still have its own dedicated fan base.) One of the site~s most
recently added features, MySpace Music, is utilizing the networking
space to spread the word about music artists.
