"Although Facebook has beaten MySpace in terms of traffic and attention (both in the US and internationally), MySpace is still the social network of choice when it comes to bands and music. \nClearly, MySpace still resonates well when it comes to certain areas of interest; this advantage can be extended into other areas, and one important area MySpace is looking at is gaming. At the Fortune Brainstorm: TECH conference in Pasadena, California, News Corp's digital head Jonathan Miller said that \"MySpace is and will be more in the future a gaming platform, a space for people to meet and play games.\"\nThis is smart thinking. As a general purpose social network, MySpace cannot compete with Facebook, and when it comes to video, it's hard to top what YouTube or (if we talk about exclusive, pro content) Hulu can offer. MySpace attracts a younger audience than Facebook (especially lately), and therefore gaming is the next logical choice for them. \nOf course, when Miller says \"You must focus, and in our case we are focusing on music, games, video, things like that,\" he doesn't sound too convincing; \"things like that\" is quite a vague phrase for a company that's just fired 30% of its staff. Add to that the fact that Facebook is actually doing well when it comes to gaming, with games regularly being among the most popular apps on the platform, and it's obvious that MySpace will have to come up with a good strategy if it wants to become the king of social gaming. Brace yourself for an acquisition of a social gaming platform by News Corp, because that's probably the way this is going to go down."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
