Myspace News Not Just Sex, Drugs & Rock and Roll

After deep reservations of the MySpace generation getting their collective american idol voting mentality in the world I have to admit I’m impressed at the news stories. Myspace News currently has real news stories!

Im absolutely stunned that the organization that is organizing the world’s preteen blogs, drunken photos and pop music has engaging and thought provoking content. These are the current homepage articles:

google’s new look
solar energy in austrailia
Nigeria’s sock puppet election catastrophe
Boris Yeltsin’s passing
world book day
Books? This is the generation of kids that are supposed to have replaced their bookshelves with playstaions and xboxes.

This looks like excellent editorializing to me, with exponentially higher quality than Digg. John Furrier has an interesting outlook, Rand on the other hand has a different opinion. As do others in the search engine optimization community.

Rupert old dude, please keep this up. You are using your influence over millions of young people to promote positive messages and inspire change, please don’t sell out.
