Colin Digiaro, who was a cofounder of MySpace and most recently served as co-President of News Corp. Digital’s new technology incubator Slighshot Labs, has resigned from the company, we’ve heard from multiple sources.
Slingshot Labs, which was created in 2007, was in the news recently. The incubator has been working on, among other things, a new business-focused social network for the Wall Street Journal, another News Corp. asset.
We’ve heard quiet rumors that Digiaro may join former MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe on a new venture DeWolfe is contemplating, but this hasn’t been confirmed. We reported on that possible new company last month.
Slingshot Labs Co-President Josh Berman, also an original MySpace employee, has dropped the “co” from his title and is now simply President of Slingshot, sources say.
So what is the status of the LinkedIn WSJ social network? Is the project still happening?
Is linfo.com and dailyfill.com slingshots best shot? Is slingshot another blue rover labs? Colorful leaders with nice uniforms and no ballpark to playball. Proof players with no ballpark get lazy?
this is really a non story and a waste of space
Good luck to Colin. Have always been extremely impressed with him and confident he’s going to do a bang up job in whatever he pursues next.
Josh,
I can save you lots of time and money as I have already developed the business networking site you’re sesrching for…and will it ever compete with Linkedin!!
