MySpace.com users to get free The Cloud Wi-Fi access across UK
MySpace.com users can now gain free access to over 7,000 Wi-Fi hotspots courtesy of The Cloud, thanks to a deal announced today.
When users connect to one of The Cloud’s wireless locations via their mobile device, they’ll be greeted with MySpace branding and multimedia content on the landing page. Presumably if they’ve not paid for access to the rest of the Internet, or have an iPhone, that’s as far as they’ll get…
Vodafone and MySpace create Web 2.0 platform
Vodafone and MySpace have announced the creation of the “Vodafone Music Reporter” interactive platform (really a glorified profile) which will be used by Vodafone to share existing music initiatives, including its summer festivals, as well as allowing music fans in the UK, Italy, Spain, and Germany to upload and download pictures and videos, and interact with other users via the regularly updated blog…
Facebook overtakes MySpace – Rupert Murdoch whinges
Rupert Murdoch was reduced to petty slants today as figures for May showed that for the first time Facebook attracted more unique users than MySpace.
The media barren, whose News Corp bought MySpace in 2005, described their usurping rivals as “flavour of the month”, not a real social network and simply a “directory”…
Facebook has surpassed MySpace, now the world's most popular social networking site
Yesterday we reported that Facebook is close to overtaking Windows Live Messenger as being the UK’s most popular website, in regards to minutes spent on the site. More data is trickling in through the wires, including some very impressive news, that it has also overtaken MySpace – and is now officially the largest social networking site in the world!
April 2008 was when the good book managed to topple MySpace off its pedestal, as you can see they’ve been increasing in traffic the past 12 months, whereas MySpace has been rather static. The red and blue…
Battle of the social networking redesigns – new look MySpace landing next week

Here’s something sad and depressing to get you in the mood for a weekend of sitting inside watching TV and being miserable.
49-year-old mother Lori Drew allegedly created a fake MySpace account under the pretence of being a 16-year-old boy. Lori is alleged to have then befriended 13-year-old neighbour Megan Meier while pretending to be the boy, formed an online relationship…
Opinion: Judgements against spammers are a waste of time, try educating users instead
MySpace has “won” around £120m from two spammers who used their network to send junk mail to members, but it has little chance of seeing the cash.
It’s no surprise that Sanford Wallace and Walter Rines (who apparently are real people) failed to turn up in court — it’s likely no-one even knows where they live…
MySpace to share your details with eBay, Twitter and Yahoo but only if you want
It’s funny, isn’t it? On the one hand we have infinite remote security where you have to tell someone the middle name of the first person you snogged before you can buy an ice-cream over the phone and then online we’re chucking personal information about like there’s no tomorrow.
Sites like Facebook have seen us divulge everything short of our bank details – although I’m sure an application for that is on its way – and now it seems they’re going to share their info with each other – with our consent of course.
MySpace has launched MySpace Data Availability as part the Yahoo Open Social Foundation…
