[...] MySpace is not a team player. They’ve recently made the decision to handicap YouTube videos by disallowing external links from Flash widgets. Their rationale is bursting with hubris: If you look at virtually any Web 2.0 application, whether its YouTube, whether it’s Flickr, whether it’s Photobucket or any of the next-generation Web applications, almost all of them are really driven off the back of MySpace.—Peter Chernin, NewsCorp COO [...]

[...] This is sour grapes. MySpace (at least the video portion) is now under pressure in a way it wasn’t when YouTube wasn’t connected to the the biggest brand online. MySpace had probably thought it was going to be the branding destination of choice for large advertisers (to rival Yahoo!). News Corp. COO Peter Chernin was only weeks ago boasting: [...]

[...] All of these are signs that Google is staying current with the times. Yahoo! is moving in the same direction with everything from HackDay to an internal incubator to ongoing acquisitions of innovative mashup loving startups, the new BBAuth tool and a Yahoo! Mail API. Facebook is opening in even more ways. The mashup ethic is clearly no longer a fringe idea by idealistic small fries - it’s being embraced substantially by many of the web’s biggest players. Who’s doing the most? Probably Yahoo! Who’s doing the least? MySpace appears dead set against the whole thing. [...]

AOL has lots of email users but is lagging in its mobile initiatives (except for MapQuest). Yet Google has such a strong brand in search that it may be able to leverage that without comparably broad adoption of gmail. [...]

[...] I saw the Techcrunch article yesterday and refrained from voicing my opinion. However, I saw this post today and thought I might as well chime in on the conversation. In short, I totally agree with the notion that Myspace is on the verge of utter stupidity for thinking they can take out all the middlemen. I agree- occasionally, CEO’s say stupid things. Seriously, do they really think replacing Youtube with their own product will benefit them? Myspace- get a clue. Focus on what you are good at- social networking. Let people build all the widgets they want for Myspace. Everyone else is putting out API’s. Think “crowd sourcing.” It is simply impossible for your company to innovate as fast as all the developers out eager to build on your product. If you shut down the use of myspace widgets, there will be a strong backlash from your users and the developer community. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you will never have any serious competition in the social networking site. Friendster made some mistakes and lost steam. We know you are not immune to making mistakes- no one is. Having your COO, Peter Chernin, say something like this proves it- “If you look at virtually any Web 2.0 application, whether its YouTube, whether it’s Flickr, whether it’s Photobucket or any of the next-generation Web applications, almost all of them are really driven off the back of MySpace. Given that most of their traffic comes from us, if we build adequate if not superior competitors, I think we ought to be able to match them if not exceed them.” [...]

[...] So, MySpace is aware of all the people, companies (and bands, heh heh) piggy-backing on their success and is considering getting a piece of that action to remain on their servers. While the blogosphere takes a predictable stance of we’re-morally-better-because-we’re-not-corporate shock over MySpace’s “arrogance,” (blah blah blah) - I’m left wondering, like always - where’s the marketing lesson here?
