Myspace News- Another Social Bookmark Success Story?
April 19, 2007 by Pablo Palatnik
Honestly, I don’t know what took so long for Myspace to launch this section. This is great for us internet marketers. Another resource to drive traffic to our articles, etc.
[This section was taken from Search Engine Journal:]
“Arrington of TechCrunch has previewed the MySpace News platform and exposes the following:
• MySpace news will pull news items from a number of trusted sources via their RSS feeds.
• The news items will be organized into 25 main categories and 300 sub-categories.
• The order of the news items will be determined by user voting and freshness.
• Users can vote on each item of news with a ranking of 1-5.
• Higher ranked and higher voted items will appear at the top of each category.â€
Can this be as successful as Digg, Stumbleupon, Reddit? YES. Actually, if I can predict this right, it will be even bigger. Myspace super exceeds all these social bookmarks in traffic and users. One problem..myspacers are there for one reason, to network with their friends, check out profiles, etc.
Myspace should implement the news section in their homepage and in each members profile, if that is possible (I don’t know if that’s how it will work or not), than the potential for their new News section can compete with Digg and become a bigger source.
This is something to look forward in the weeks to come.
