MySpace has been sold

posted this on and tagged it with Links Music Social Media

Apparently MySpace has been sold by Rubert Murdoch to a company named Specific Media. (My original source, Dagens Nyheter) One of the owners of Specific Media is reported to be Justin Timberlake.

The really interesting part in this, to me, is that I found out about it in a swedish daily newspaper. Dagens Nyheter is not known to be good at techie stuff. The news is even filed under economy, not technology. I have not heard anything about this in any of the international tech blogs I read or as part of any tweet.

To me this means that the tech world is no longer interested in MySpace. It’s considered yesterdays news and I couldn’t agree more. Goodbye MySpace.
