"Please, go to www.myspace.com/transmissions and tell me if that site looks finished to you. All I see is a photo of James Blunt and a couple of his tracks for sale, and a lot of ugly knobs and switches which don't seem to be doing anything. Allen at CenterNetworks calls the site 50% complete, but I'd say he's doing MySpace a favor: the site looks like the first draft of an idea for a site, that might some day, in distant future, become a working, full-featured (but still ugly) website. \nSo, what's it all about, anyway? In marketingese MySpace Transmissions is \"a music program that empowers top recording artists with a new platform to create and distribute exclusive video content available for viral distribution and audio tracks available for purchase in the U.S.\" This translates to the following: if you're already a rich artist selling hundreds of thousands of albums, MySpace will let you create some videos and sell your tracks on a customized page. \nSeriously, how can I get into all the talk about a \"new platform\" and an \"exciting opportunity\" when the folks at MySpace obviously weren't able to do the basics: launch a functional site that looks decent? Additional artists should be announced in the following week; hopefully, they'll get a less hideous site. \n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
