There is no way Myspace is too late with the web video crowd. Myspace is a crazy machine, where users are constantly abused by autoplaying audio, video, and ads everywhere, yet continue to push on.

We are in a web video era. I don’t believe it’s a matter of being too late. Video is just another medium to allow people to communicate. I do believe that users will gravitate to the better overall user experience, whichever that may be.

I would be interested to see the Youtube stats for Upload vs Live Recording.

On the technical side, I assume that they are using Flash on the client, but I am curious to know if they have licensed Flash Media server or using Red5 solution (The Flash Media Server open source alternative)?

I read that Youtube is using Flash media server. Not sure about Seesmic.

Great first step. Now, if only I could upload videos taken on my mobile phone directly onto MySpace…

I really like music and think myspace is fab so I don’t mind improvements even if they are deemed to be late. While other social networking sites seem to love bagging myspace it has a lot of features and seems from use a lot more stable than facebook with applications that work. I love im, skype and just the multitude of music to be discovered, secret shows. Really i don’t get the same service from any other site…last FM a close second maybe.

Yes, MySpace still exists and they are very profitable. They are a big sleeping giants and those are always tough companies to move. They don’t deserve the wrath they get.

I expected Myspace to implement features like that a long time ago. I guess we shall see how it turns out.

I think people who see the demise of MySpace aren’t considering the serious impact of having a user base as large as their site. Heck – I have made contacts all across the board from my social network on MySpace – including finding good local doctors, dentists, hairstylists, new hot spots, etc.

It all depends on the quality of your network. It doesn’t matter if its MySpace, Facebook, or any of the N number of social sites.

YouTube’s 1GB limit is just for show, considering that their length limit is 10min.

MySpace is desperate and not ready to die?…

It is interesting to note that MySpace suddenly gave users the ability to record videos directly at MySpaceTV yesterday. Does that sudden goodie has anything to do with comScore’s Press Release?

Probably so! It only shows that MySpace is kind of d…

I never said it was wholesale catching up, but every little bit helps. I know we’d like to see them step and put all their efforts into the video services, but we’d like to see that from any business. Who knows, maybe they don’t have as many engineers on staff as YouTube or certain other places. Laughable as that may sound, remember that MySpace hadn’t even begun to really update thier site’s services until about a year ago.

Yup my space has been a bit late but still being late doesn’t mean that the public is not going to utilize it.Some things ought to be done without seeing when are they done.Its just a part of business strategy and you know that very well.

with no small business long tail ad inventory substance. a playground site. if it was that great and had huge growth potential rupert would not want to sell it to yahoo.

people dont go to myspace to get work done or to find people who are hard workers. how many people have said they found a dentist at myspace. they will never be a serious online destination for getting the work done. DentalLocator now that makes sense. they appear to have identity issues when it comes to being a serious online destination for anything other than entertainment. a small business marketed on myspace will never be taken seriously. Which ad would the plumber rather put on his van.

“Find us at Myspace.com.” or “Find us at PlumberLocator.com”.

MyLoctator is the MySpace for Business. The serious need only apply.
