22 Apr 08 MSNBC launches Election 2008 MySpace site
In an effort to tap into that ever volatile youth demographic, MSNBC has launched a MySpace page called Decision 08. Showing their age and how behind the times they are, doesn’t MSNBC know that MySpace is sooo yesterday’s news. Everyone knows that Facebook is the where it’s at with kids today.
Though I do have to hand it to them for being able to mask as much as possible that it is, in fact, a MySpace page. It almost looks like a standalone Web site, save for the always brilliant, exclamation point-laden comments at the bottom that are typical of MySpace groupies.
I wonder if MSNBC realizes that MySpace is owned by rival media conglomerate News Corp. Kind of sleeping with the enemy aren’t they?
