Barrett is a good man but his org a mess. Levinsohn is able but miscast. Bain is strong and his group holds most of FIM´s hope. Much of the rest of FIM´s management are clowns, refugees from other Fox units with zero technology experience or expertise, who´ve in a couple short years built a bloated and ineffective central finance and operations group. It takes employees weeks to get simple things like net taps or video cards. Management talent is nowhere near the league of their theoretical (traffic) peers like Google, MSFT, even Yahoo or Facebook. One public-co CEO has said privately ¨I didn´t meet a single person there I would hire¨.

Chernin brags about Hulu, a nice product, but unlike FIM they brought in a tech-experienced outsider to run it.

Murdoch desperately needs to shuffle FIM off somewhere that knows what the Internet is and how to manage technology, before all the value is lost.

Myspace will not be able to catch up I believe in this case. They are using JSON and their site is a mess combination of .NET and Coldfusion. They can’t even build a proper site with ONE platform, how can they possibly open yet another Javascript open platform to developers who have already been profitting from Facebook API? In order to catch up, things have to be done fast. Myspace won’t get there unfortunately.
