Wow, its not just the execs that are cut off from the MySpace branches, but so are the products. CEO Owen Van Natta made sure he was vocal about it as he spilled the beans on ripping off major products. Those most probably include Horoscopes, Calendars, Polls and Books. I guess this is all about shrinking the focus of MySpace and pulling it closer to more of an Entertainment social network. It appears that the decision or the plan is the brainchild of Jason Hirschhorn.
Myspace has lost ground because they tried to do too much and lost focus of maintaining a clean community. And by clean I mean they were overridden by spamming, viruses, and fake pages. Their groups are horrible as well. They need to cut off some of their other “ventures”.
