By taking this step, the founders of MySpace are basically doing what might as well be inevitable. MySpace has seen so much growth over the past year it's hard to believe that it's still going strong. Online networks are fads. Friendster was a hit for about 3 weeks. Facebook.com is hot only because it connects people to their college. The rest of them aren't even really big enough to mention. MySpace's success might be based in the fact that it's such an easy medium for immediate exposure but also that it takes the online community and puts it into a physical presence. They were at a ton of events in the past year either as a sponsor (Warped Tour) or as a host. Online communities are already addicting, but MySpace has taken into a different level. It's even more tangible now. And with a record label in the works, MySpace is furthering attempting to secure it's cred among its users, artists and all the rest of the industry people. Who knows how this record label will work out? I've got to say this though: if I were an unsigned artist, I'd be doing anything I physically can to get my music perfect to be listened to by the MySpace guys. Because if I get in with that label, the marketing of my music would be a no-brainer.
