Facebook & Twitter drive MySpace out of Playa Vista
Loss of revenues and market share to Facebook and Twitter appear to be pushing Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Interactive to axe MySpace employees and pull the plug on moving into Playa Vista. According to the LA Times, Fox is on the hook to the tune of $350 million for a 12-year lease of the office space they were slated to move into soon. Backpedaling, due to the down economy and their loss of market share and revenue, the blame seems to be attributed to online networking not being as financially rewarding as anticipated. For many, that means pink slips are on the way.
Fox hopes to be able to sub let the property to someone else. Good luck on that one.
Cricket & Twitter Solution
I have a Cricket phone and I have a Twitter account. I would like to set up my phone device to be able to tweet. The solution is to use Ping.fm.
Apparently, Cricket does not support five digit codes. In fact, I read a post from about eight months ago, when a customer contacted Cricket to ask about making their phones Twitter-friendly. At that time, they did not know who the customer was talking about. Well, eight months later and they still do not have a friendly relationship.
Ping.fm is free to sign up and free to use. You can use it for updating your MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn and other accounts, too.
