I think the figure paid for it shows how much of a success myspace is, having grown mostly organically just by being a good idea. Its a shame he's sold it coz I think its nice when stuff like that stays independent. On the news report I read Murdoch/Fox said the main reason for the purchase was to use myspace to drive traffic to Fox sites which suggests that myspace may gradually go downhill.

Whatever Rupert Murdoch touches, turns to gold. Just look at the success he's has with Fox News. Watch this investment blast off, also.
