Brian Norgard and Dan Gould, Newroo Founders, rock.
All my friends and colleagues are now using Myspacenews and loving it. Fox should be proud of the awesome social news site with it’s instant news on over 300 titles. This is the future!!!

Very good point Eric. The fact that MySpace has so many users (even if half are bots) is extremely important and this will certainly be the first time they interact with a social news site.

And its also important for us to step out of the bubble sometimes and realize how many people have no clue as to what Digg or Reddit are and still think that Netscape is a browser.

Instead of being a Digg killer, I see this service as introducing social media concepts like voting to the masses, helping sites like Digg get more attention.

Si – at this point I agree with you but its definitely worth paying attention to simply because it is MySpace and the potential for marketers if it takes off.

Jack – please let me know how it goes and if you see any real traffic.

Nice post.

I personally think Myspace News is a bit crap really, but sure it will have plenty of users due to the current popularity of Myspace.

I also really can’t see a news service of any sort from the same guy that owns Fox News and The Sun being impartial!
