MoSoSo is not dead. Some views:

Great corporate announcements of exclusivity that Myspace will be available over mobile ONLY with Vodafone is dire. It is SO walled garden, other than garnering a big contract to expose the mobile aspect, why are Myspace sucking up to the walled garden players?

Social interaction on the mobile is quite different from the social interaction on the web, maybe some day somebody is going to recognise this.

As for Vodafone. Pathetic. WTF are you guys doing, are you so corporate that you cannot think outside the RED. Is this a move to create churn? Do you think customers will come to you because you host Myspace access?.

You have 170M+ customers, that is a bigger community than Myspace [I think] what are you doing aligning with a web based social community that is fragmented in comparison to your customer base. You are a communications company, you sell devices that allow people to communicate and socially interact. You have millions of customers who are a network, yet you wish to APE the web based social interaction of a disparate group in myspace. Why not form a strategy to communitise your millions of customers? I would love it if one of your guys would publically state WTF your strategy is concerning this matter.

AND, during the due diligence phase [if you ever did one] what were the results of the survey of the Myspace users showing what countries, what handsets they use and what Mobile operators they currently access through. I bet you never went that deep………………………………………

RED is shit.

Calming down a bit. Mr Justin it would be nice to speak with you soon – interesting piece you wrote. Mr Ewan [I am sure you can arrange].

Another dig. Vodafone’s latest gig to get developers on board……………………………….SAD. I wonder if they will open source their network to create 3rd party services/applications.

“We can see through you”

Mr Ewan. Can you not arrange an evening of jousting with the Telco’s so that we can do a face to face and probe them/get them to defend themselves.
