MySpace = MySun and MyFox

[deeply_spurious]

Just in case anyone was still under the sadly mistaken impression that it might be groovy and hip, 'MySun', ooops I mean 'MySpace' is officially the saddest most unkewl website in the world...

But hey, life is always fun with The Sun don't ya know.

hmm would one be able to pull in media links for selected page 3 girls on MySun ? Perhaps the one on the news earlier who was part of the item on the Reading teenage girl murderers as she was turning tricks in reading to support her drugs habit

There's a link on slashdot about Nike and Google trying to do a similar thing at joga.com

It seems like the latest marketing trend that companies are getting into.

I reckon Google should be very careful before messing up their carefully crafted brand by associating with the likes of Nike... could backfire I'm thinking...

I think they already messed that up with agreeing to firewall half of China. Google are just providing the software based on their Orkut system. Nike are just branding it. No worse than any other company buying software to brand.

I agree about China definitely. I agree the Nike thing is no worse than any other company - just saying that pragmatically speaking Google have managed to establish themselves as kindof cool, right on and different and that any sort of association with Nike (or the Chinese government) is probably not going to do them any favours...
