Update on some previous blogs

So remember how I said that Myspace's only chance was music? Well looks like they had the same idea as well. According to Hypebot though its not enough. Do you remember that idea that I wasn't a fan of with starbucks and they prepaid program through your smartphone? Well google decided "hey we can do that but we'll use it for everybody not just cofee." This website talks a little bit about it. I'm still not a fan though of making payments with your phone, you need to take your wallet with you anyways might as well take out your credit card. Finally Facebook is trying to come out with a new search engine. It bases your searches based on your friends interests. The first thing that comes to mind was that I felt sorry for people with really dumb friends on their Facebook. Not sure that this is the right step for Facebook and that they are spending money of something that is leading them in the wrong direction in innovation.

Don't die yet Myspace

So there's been talk on how Myspace is dwindling down into non-existense. So the question now is how can we save Myspace? I totally agree with Matt Rosoff from cnet in his ideas on saving the once uber awesome social network. Save Myspace First of all one of the big things that myspace did was be big on music. You could listen to it , post it, practically launch your music career. (I know you're thinking about the Beiber right now) Myspace made a huge mistake in seperating into two seperate sites. www.myspace.com and http://www.myspace.com/music . Another thing is where is the innovation??????? Myspace was kind of a first of its kind or at least first succesfully done of its time. Is it bad leadership? Where are the new mind blowing ideas. Where is the new tech? Don't talk about the apps because everyone else has that too. Myspace its time to start brainstorming.
