I’m not surprised to learn of MySpace’s roller-coaster ride of a history as a business, or the dramatic tendencies of its founders – it was MySpace and not one of those other social networking sites that attracted Ruper Murdoch, after all.  Murdoch is no stranger to drama – knowing that like attracts like, I think it’s a safe bet to guess that where you find Rupert, you will find a litter of broken promises, hearts,  egos (and maybe even some knocked-out teeth) underfoot.

Despite the recent ruckus over Facebook’s Terms of Use, I’ve enjoyed that platform much more for connecting with old friends and staying in touch with new ones met in odd places around the world.  Facebook could be a bit more amenable to the necessary expansion of social networking on the interweb, though – for example, for the purposes of Faceboook organizing.  But anyway, it’s still better than Friendster.  And MySpace.
