MySpace News Launch
Tomorrow afternoon, MySpace should, as already mentioned , run its own news service at news.myspace.com . It is assumed that the site at 7 o'clock EST (at 15 o'clock Moscow time) will be available. Despite this, certain information about the service is available now.
The news section runs on the Newroo aggregator, bought for $ 7 million in early 2006.
Michael Arrington spoke with the founders of Newroo (current Myspace / Fox employees), Brian Norgard and Dan Gould, and the head of Fox Interactive Labs, Dan Strauss, about this service. Like Google News, or Yandex News, MySpace News will collect news from trusted sources via RSS feeds. All news messages will be divided into 25 main categories and 300 subcategories, such as sports, politics, fashion and technology ... The order of the messages will be determined by the users themselves: you can vote for each news on a five-point scale. News will be based on its novelty and user rating.
In the future, it is possible that users will be able to post news themselves. True, it seems to me that this will turn MySpace News into another Digg.
