BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 11 (UPI) — Social Web site MySpace said Tuesday it will lay off about half of its workers, cutting 500 jobs in the United States and elsewhere to streamline operations.
Chief Executive Officer Mike Jones said, “The new organizational structure will enable us to move more nimbly, develop products more quickly and attain more flexibility on the financial side,” The Los Angeles Times reported.
With recent changes, the company purchased by News Corp. in 2005 for $580 million is regaining lost popularity, Jones said, pointing to increased activity in some of its online forums and 3 million new subscribers.
Firms that research online activity had data that was not so positive. ComScore Media Metrix said MySpace had 3.7 million fewer visitors in November compared with October’s 54 million total visitors.
The staff at GWOP Magazine (www.myspace.com/kbdigitalvision) currently does not use Myspace as much as we did back in 2006 when we started social networking. We have converted over to popular sites such as FaceBook & Twitter.
A firm that tracks advertising, eMarketer, said advertising revenue at MySpace fell 26 percent in 2010.
How long before social networking sites, FaceBook & Twitter fall off the radar?

Malcolm X (1992)
Director Spike Lee’s biographical film about the life of civil rights leader Malcom X was produced in the classical Hollywood style. Featuring an Oscar-nominated performance by Denzel Washington, the film exemplifies the willingness of the American film industry in the early ‘90s to support the making of mainstream films about earlier generations of social leaders.
“Denzel was robbed of an Oscar back in 1992.” -K.B. (GWOP Magazine)
Other notable films recognized by Library of Congress National Film Registry: “Do the Right Thing” (directed by Spike Lee) “Boyz N The Hood” (directed by John Singleton) “Citizen Kane” (directed by Orson Welles) “Goodfellas” (directed by Martin Scorsese) “Thiller” (Michael Jackson Music Video)
