I don’t see why Facebook could not do something similar with Yelp.

Most people that I talk too feel that myspace is a social network for the 13-25 crowd.

“Myspace should change their name, cut/paste their code, and start a new site…then they might have a chance of surviving.”

- This is actually the No. 1 rule of thumb for branding: spin off a new brand name rather than confusing the brand by appending to the main brand like Myspace Music, Myspace Video, Myspace blah blah.

Not sure why so many smart people at myspace doesn’t know anything about branding…

It kills the brand.

“It’s All About The Money – Don’t be fooled – the reason for all this local content is to create premium ad space.”

“Don’t be fooled”? What’s that supposed to mean? Way to put a negative spin on it there, per usual. Isn’t that called a business model?

None of the current social networks are shining beacons of altruism – they are all out to make money.

It’s a bid deal and will certainly (re)ignite the Local space. Hell, the travel startups are all trying to be local and travel now, so the space is unbelievably crowded. Myspace Local is going to reap havok on search engine results for the next few months, that’s for sure, but at the end of the day, MS is stuck with Citysearch, both fading brands and certainly considered in the lower area of the dustbin. Now if this were Facebook + Yelp, there would be some Earths shattering.

Hopefully the dinosaur yellow page and directory publishes will get into the game soon.

I look forward to Facebook’s response and most certainly which major player is finally going to pull the trigger on Yelp.

@DJ thanks for pointing out no brainer. will a business ever say to a customer to check out there recommendations at ms? just the mention of ms in a business setting can offend some people. if mslocal was started in the beginning it may of had a better chance of survival. myspac is scarred and for any serious contention will have to think outside theirspace.

well time will tell if Myspace pulls a yelp and starts charging businesses extortion fees to manipulate user reviews …

Once myspace and facebook enter the yellow page listing arena, yelp’s influence will diminish greatly and so will their ability to charge the 300 bucks a month they now extort from businesses for “sponsored listings”

I think you are confused. Facebook is the walled garden. MySpace was designed with open in mind. They have MySpaceID, which I believe was introduced a day or two before Facebook Connect, and they have incorporated the OpenSocial initiative and data portability. Facebook is the one hoarding its user data.

@Stan – Define relevancy please, beyond the opinion of your 16 year old son and his friends. Does industry media coverage make a site more relevant, or does engagement? myspace and fb are two completely different sites with different user behaviors and value propositions. i’m on both, and while i feel neither are exactly what I’m looking for, they each fulfill a different need for me (e.g. caught up with my old hs buddy on fb, watched and shared exclusive movie trailer with friends on myspace)

Myspace is making bad decisions left and right. Instead of purchasing CitySearch and letting them do their thing and “helping” them grow. Thereby increasing their bottom line, maybe feeding them traffic, but not rebranding it. Tom wants Myspace to be the only stop on the internet, and thats NEVER going to happen..
