An excellent cover story from Business Week on the MySpace generation using the social networking tools on the Internet to replace so much that previous generations have taken for granted – newspapers, face to face conversation, letter writing, over the fence talking. It is timely with the release of MySpace classifieds. As background to the Business Week story is this 20 minute podcast – an interview between the journalist and editor. This podcast is an excellent use of the medium by Business Week and it provides helpful context for some of their cover story about the MySpace generation.
News Corp. seems to have done well with the MySpace investment.
