True or Falseby Claudia Sonea

Luo Chuan, the CEO of Myspace China, which is part of News Corp, declared that the company will move its servers to China as a strategy of attracting the Chinese users. He guarantees that by moving the server the site will be more appealing to local audience and China will stay connected to MySpace’s database. If I were in his place, I wouldn't be so sure and not to mention all the financial effort that this project implies. Probably that is the reason they have not set yet a date and the challenge extends to technical issues too. However, the company might be inclined to do it because Chinese market is a profitable one and they had a really slow start there, so they have to improve that. Yahoo and eBay tried long time to win over Chinese users and they have not succeeded. MySpace China has to find something for the new market, to win over every obstacle and bring in front all they have to get Chinese attention. The company has to face the challenges posed by 51.com, Mop.com and Woku.com that already have ten millions users. The move would be a good move for the market and MySpace proved a great interest in China as a result the entire struggle to launch its Chinese-language site. We can just sit back and enjoy the latest news by clicking and clicking. Any day now, will find out what they will actually do and not what they intend to do.

Just for laughsby Claudia Sonea

The shark called Media this time wasn't that fearfully and approached a new mean, probably because it was in trend with the subject of comedy. Georg Szalai, the Hollywood Reporter's New York bureau chief, interviewed Josh Brooks, vicepresident marketing and content, and Jordan Ellner , marketing manager of comedy, at the Just for Laughs comedy festival. I was expecting question that will reveal some of the plans that MySpace has regarding the future projects, but to my surprise everything evolved around the main issue of comedy. Of course the marketing managers talked very nice about the commitment of MySpace to comedy and how entertainment is at the base of the site and that they have 40,000 registered comedians according to Jordan Ellner, while Brooks states they are heading to electronic commercialise CDs, T-Shirts and other stuff, although they are not yet there. Through festivals, video premieres and Secret Standup community that is very popular, they satisfy the users need of comedy."Tommy Johnigan and Geoff Keith are the kind of guys that are off-the-cuff funny guys who speak our language very well" says Brooks in confessing who he would use to entertain the MySpace audience. This makes me wonder if he will use them in the new project regarding IPTV. Still keeping us in the dark, the company thought to be on the edge of losing its users still stirs water. Stay connected, pending for the news!
