The New MySpace Mail Quietly Emerges As A Big-Time Email Competitor
- smhinsey 17y agoIt seems a little misleading to compare myspace's overall uniques with the email-specific unique counts of the other providers. It implies a 1:1 ratio between uniques and people who are going to go through the relative (I'm sure they've made it as easy as possible, but nonetheless) hassle of switching to a new provider.
- ohlol 17y agoCan we use Profile 2.0 on our Myspace E-mail, too? Ugh.
- chaosmachine 17y agoI'm sure this will be a great playground for email worm authors.
- redorb 17y agoagreed, and think of it as the new spam haven also. Honestly they are digging for revenue and something to slow the decline in myspace userbase..
- andreyf 17y agoI'm having trouble imagining why the number of users is a good indicator of product quality. And although I feel like I'm parroting Steve Jobs, but I'd rather be a great cook than a popular cook. In a perfect market, the two are correlated... in reality: not so much. Being in popular locations, having a recognizable brand, and taking advantage of users' imperfect knowledge all go further than having a great product instead of a good one.
