Google Signs $900m MySpace Deal

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the road-to-world-domination dept.

deadmantyping writes "Google has signed a $900m deal with Fox to provide search capabilities for Fox sites, the most noteworthy of which is MySpace. This deal does not include FoxSports.com, which already has a deal with MSN. Google claims that 'MySpace was an important site to be involved with given its rapid popularity growth.' Google also signed a deal with MTV earlier in the week."

    Not 14? You must not have any friends that use myspace, or in other words: no friends at all. Most people who avoid myspace are either old farts who criticize anyone under 30, or slashdotters living in their parents basement. The influence Myspace has over the younger generation is undeniable, and by younger I also mean people older than 14.

  3. MySpace is fucking lame by kruhft · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I mean seriously, as a band, how could you get a bunch of other bands, fans and other totally random people to listen to your musc??? Like seriously, it's the lamest site on the Intertron. *Especially* if you write shitty music, and don't want anyone to listen.

    Totally lame. Avoid it at all costs.

    You have much better things to do with you time...

    I mean, I'm not even 14...

    Don't ever goto MySpace. Seriously.
