	&nbsp;MySpace&rsquo;s new co-presidents are making changes to the News Corp.-owned social-networking site, reducing clutter on users&rsquo; profile pages and expanding music, movie and game features. Mike Jones and Jason Hirschhorn, promoted last month with the departure of Owen Van Natta, said they are returning MySpace to its roots by fostering interaction around entertainment. New offerings will be introduced in stages over the next year, they said in an interview yesterday.</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;Incrementally, not with one switch of the light, over the next six, nine and 12 months, there&rsquo;s going to be a remarkable transformation,&rdquo; Hirschhorn said at their shared office in Beverly Hills, California. The pair said they are focused on maintaining the site&rsquo;s more than 100 million global users before trying to win back people who moved to Facebook. They said they&rsquo;ve revamped product-development to create tools that help users discover and share entertainment content.</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;The product wasn&rsquo;t on par with some of the competitors,&rdquo; Hirschhorn said. &ldquo;We did not do a great job of making it a usable place.&rdquo; The two executives said they are working on a new advertising deal to replace the $900 million multiyear partnership with Google Inc. that expires in June.</p>]]></description>

	MySpace co-founder Chris DeWolfe, who left the social-networking company last year, is part of a group buying the Facebook online game provider MindJolt. DeWolfe, along with former MySpace executives Colin Digiaro and Aber Whitcomb, made the acquisition with Austin Ventures, San Francisco-based MindJolt said today in a statement.<br />
	<br />
	MindJolt provides access to 1,300 games on the Web and has more than 20 million active users on Facebook and other sites, according to the statement. Terms weren&rsquo;t disclosed. DeWolfe, who will be chief executive, left MySpace in April, about four years after selling the social network to News Corp. as part of a deal worth $580 million.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>
	Troubled social networking giant MySpace has lost another key executive with the recent departure of John Faith, until recently General Manager and Vice President of MySpace Mobile. His resignation hasn&#39;t been announced yet (nor has his LinkedIn profile been updated), but we&#39;ve confirmed hallway rumors that he jumped ship at the end of January 2010 both with the man in question and the company he used to work for.Faith has moved to Austin, Texas &iquest; just in time for SXSW &iquest; where he has joined local startup WhaleShark Media as SVP of Engineering.</p>
<p>
	That company&#39;s still in stealth mode, but was founded by former Bankrate COO Cotter Cunningham, so we&#39;ll be keeping a close eye on that one.It&#39;s worth noting that another key member of the MySpace Mobile team, Ulf Waschbusch, also left the company in July 2009 &iquest; he recently landed at gaming startup Garena.</p>]]></description>

MySpace didn&#39;t copy us on the notice, or send any other notice to us about the content.So we&#39;re putting it on our own servers.</p>

			<title>MySpace's Discover Strategy -- Nice Try, But You Won't Catch Up with Facebook</title>

	<img alt="MySpaces Discover Strategy -- Nice Try, But You Wont Catch Up with Facebook" src="http://myspacegossips.com/userfiles/2010/2/25/images/MySpaces Discover Strategy -- Nice Try, But You Wont Catch Up with Facebook.jpg" style="width: 141px; height: 47px; float: right;" />It was painful, poignant even, to read that MySpace has a new slogan: &mdash; &ldquo;Discover and be Discovered&rdquo; &mdash; which it unveiled to employees last week. I took it as though the once-mighty social network&nbsp; was straining to discover itself.</p>
<p>
	What does the new slogan mean? That MySpace wants to become the place where people discover stuff. As TechCrunch put it: New people they should be meeting. Movie trailers they should watch. Games they may want to play (perhaps against other MySpace users), music they should listen to, articles they should read.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>
	About two weeks after News Corp fired MySpace&#39;s CEO Owen Van Natta, the online social networking&nbsp; company saw three executives leave the company. In the latest departure event, MySpace&#39;s chief software architect Chris Bissell has bid adieu to the company.</p>
<p>
	MySpace has confirmed Bissell&#39;s departure to TechCrunch. Bissell, who has been with the company for over four years, was charged with maintaining MySpace&rsquo;s back-end architecture. It was just one week after the firing of Van Natta that Kate Geminder, SVP of User Experience and Design; and Monica Keller, stream architect left MySpace, according to TechCrunch.</p>]]></description>

<p>
	The newly appointed co-presidents Mike Jones and Jason Hirschorn, alongside News Corporation&rsquo;s chairman and chief executive of Digital Media, Jon Miller, gave a detailed overview of the company&rsquo;s strategy.</p>
<p>
	The meeting was called to demonstrate News Corporation&#39;s commitment to MySpace and explain the refining of the strategy since the surprise exit of Owen Van Natta, a week earlier. According to a source present at the proceedings, the three executives said that the focus of the company would be tightly centred around improving the discovery tools across each part of the site &ndash; which will allow MySpace to recommend increasing amounts of relevant content to its users. </p>]]></description>

			<title>MySpace Added To Real Time Search </title>

	Posting on MySpace just got a little more important again. Starting this week, when you search for anything on Google, as part of your search results you will see live updates from MySpace users, including news, photos, and public blog posts. These updates will be ranked to reflect the newest and most relevant results.</p>
<p>
	The goal is for Google users to receive a live snapshot of all the chatter surrounding any subject on MySpace. To power the addition, Google is tapping into MySpace&#39;s Real Time API which is part of a MySpace API suiteopen to all developers and services.</p>

			<title>Google starts MySpace updates in real time searches </title>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>
	Google has started real-time search results for MySpace. The results will show live updates from MySpace users including news, photos, music and blog posts. The MySpace content joins other sources of Google real-time search results, including Twitter and Facebook&rsquo;s FriendFeed.</p>
<p>
	Whilst Google was the social networking site&rsquo;s launch partner, along with OneRiot, it took a couple of month&rsquo;s time for Google to incorporate MySpace&rsquo;s updates into its real-time search results. MySpace, which isn&rsquo;t the grand figure of social networking it once was, will be hoping that Google results will drive greater traffic to its now more music focused pages.</p>
<p>
	Mike Jones, co-president of MySpace, said, &ldquo;This partnership increases our users&rsquo; ability to share and showcase content across the open web and gives people outside the MySpace network even more ways to discover new content.&rdquo;</p>
