Myspace has removed 200,000 objectionable profiles. Dating sites, take note, this is how you leverage goodwill into good PR. Transparency is a benefit, get it? Ross Leinsohn, head of New Corp’s internet division, says myspace is safer in the last two months. Foolish quote, doesn’t he read his own media?
250k new signups a day at Myspace, not losing members like Facebook, which Businessweek recently said may be on the block for 2 billion. More irresponsible journalism from a trusted source.

In contrast, the 18-49 demo, while still larger overall, will see a measly one percent increase in size from 135.1 million in 2006 to 135.9 million in 2016.
