Until the “news” becomes something other than tabloid bull, there’s really no reason to choose myspace over another news service.

With a 100+ million potential audience size, this is a huge opportunity. Unfortunately, I think for 99 million of that audience, news is the last thing on their mind when they are on newspace. Could their patterns change with increased links and exposure of the news page? Sure. It is likely? I doubt it. Lets keep an eye out and see what happens…

News is not an important element? Maybe nationally. But you can’t do local news right without having a good way for people to interact and discuss the issues.

I’m eventually going the OpenID + Open Social route with a site that’s like Digg + local news. It’s hard to overestimate how important the revival of local news and local communication will be as these details on the social side get ironed out.

The site looks much improved from the last time I perused. This has a real shot to be huge. More ads for MySpace.

Still says “Beta” on the pages, so a feature release, not coming out of beta.
