It definitely lost the throne to Facebook, MySpace continues to be a hit when it comes to its free streaming music portal, MySpace Music. The statistics state that the traffic to MySpace Music has gone up by 190% since it went up in September last year. Now its CEO, Owen Van Natta must have no confusion at knowing if MySpace is a social networking portal or an entertainment site as MySpace Music rates number 3 trailing AOL Music, Yahoo!

This wouldn’t be related to Tech in any way, but its hard to gulp the fact that a legend is no more amongst us. Michael Jackson is history as he passed away owing to a cardiac arrest. The reports were pretty confused as there was no confirmation when he was taken to the hospital as some sources said he was in a coma while others confirmed his death.

While Twitter failing shouldn’t surprise anyone but the list included Perez Hilton’s blog, TMZ (which first broke the  news of his death) to name a few. It had to happen, the celebrity was popular across the globe and music is going to miss the legend.
