I will be shocked if Google buys out this cesspool. Unless they need a project to assign to engineers who've misbehaved.

- saturdaysaint 16y agoI wonder if the domain and brand name would have any value to Google. As distasteful as we view it, more non-techies that I talk to know what Myspace is than know what Gmail or most non-search Google products (Chrome, Buzz, Reader, possibly even Android, etc.) are. I'd find a well engineered Google social network with a Myspace brand attached to it novel to say the least. Not that I can see it happening.
- marquis 16y agoI have to agree with you. Every musician I know still has a myspace page, and many still use yahoo or hotmail. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea just to get the domain name and content..
- trafficlight 16y agoI actively avoid bands that use myspace as their primary website. Do they not care about their image? They should be actively looking for new and better places to show off their music.
- elithrar 16y agoThat's a lot of bands. MySpace is still popular with musicians because it's easily templatable, it allows them to easily showcase their work (songs), detail upcoming shows and their fan-bases are typically familiar with it already. Yes, MySpace is far from ideal, but is there a competing service that checks all of these boxes?
- trafficlight 16y agohttp://bandcamp.com http://bandcamp.com does an excellent job.
- lhnz 16y agoYou must not like music...
- trafficlight 16y agoWhy do you say that? I write music myself and I don't want to be associated with myspace.
- lhnz 16y agoI'm simply just saying that even though I like independent and obscure music I find it very difficult to find a band that does not have a myspace.
