“Phone call, Mr. Gates..”
UPDATE
The news hasn’t got any better for MySpace since. In our post MySpace Announce Job Cuts Amidst Slump in Market Share we look at how the company has continued to haemorrhage money a year later; becoming part of a wider online issue for News Corp. Whilst visit figures remain decent, Facebook’s dominance is clearly impacting on their financial stability.
