Google Signs $900m MySpace Deal

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."

Excellent!

Vapid, self-obsessed, score-keeping emo-inanities will now be even easier to find! And that's just the garage bands.

Wait... did you feel that? A great disturbance in the workforce, like millions of voices crying out... like it just became easier than ever for HR departments around the world to sift through that stack of resumes.

Agreed. Just look at this cover my HR department got the other day! (Hey, they're using it for movies, and I think that most of its individual users are dumb enough to do this.)

drear employr,
if u want 2 see my resume', chec out my MySpace. ignore the pix of me (hehe, i was so drunk) and the awesome muzic (i wuz 9 when Maroon 5 relesed that song) and clic on the "CLICK ME" link.

better ways

I can think of a lot of better ways to blow $900 million dollars, for example, on vodka and hookers.

hopefully google with their vast infrastructure will speed up some of the site by using some sort of distributed computing for the search features, which i'm sure requires a lot of cpu speed to search close to 100 million users

I wish there was a "Im trying to sound smart but am not at all" mod option.

Most people who avoid myspace are either old farts who criticize anyone under 30, or slashdotters living in their parents basement.

Stolen for sig. :)
