It looks aforementioned digit momentous ethnic networks aren't feat to modify safekeeping anytime soon. Executives representing News Corp and AOL have, with assorted degrees of forcefulness, spoken their intentions to keep cacoethes of MySpace and Bebo, respectively.
Rupert author took the more forthright (and amusing) approach. While at the Sun Valley media conference, he was asked most commerce MySpace. According to Reuters, the 78-year-old chair and CEO responded, "Hell, no."
So, though this shouldn't become as a actual surprise, it looks aforementioned News Corp isn't letting Facebook's success intend to it likewise much.
As for AOL and Bebo, the $850 meg acquisition that transpired between them has garnered critique from the beginning, and some grouping intellection that the Time Warner-AOL separate would advance to Bebo's (re)sale.
But that's ostensibly not happening, either, since AOL CEO Tim jazzman "told Reuters on weekday that Bebo ease has 'great value' and that it module be touched to a Ventures organisation of the online consort so that impact crapper be finished to meliorate the site."
Unless Facebook goes open or somebody finally buys Twitter, then, the ethnic networking concern should meet pretty such the aforementioned for a while.
