My Space launches new blog
My Space Australia has launched a new blog – My Space Today- and appointed three new entertainment writers to work on it.
The announcement:
MySpace Australia today announced the official launch of its new blog – MySpace Today – with the appointment of three expert entertainment writers: Dan Stapleton (Editor, MySpace Music), Jo Cohen (Editor, MySpace Movies) and Cam Shea (Editor, MySpace Games). MySpace Today, which went live last week with an exclusive, one-off interview with Prime Minister Julia Gillard, is a place for Australian MySpace users to discover the latest local and international news in music, movies and gaming. It features daily blog posts as well as album premieres, movie and game reviews, and general pop culture commentary.
“By teaming up with Dan, Jo and Cam on MySpace Today, we’re providing yet another way for MySpace users to engage with the great existing content across all verticals on the site, as well as a place to easily discover and share new content. Each of these very talented individuals brings a wealth of experience in their respective field, which will serve to amplify MySpace as an online destination for great content and discovery,” says Nick Love, Managing Director, MySpace Australia.
Tim, I’m pretty sure your insistence on inserting a space between My and Space would be causing a solitary tear to roll down the cheek of some zealous member of the Branding division of NewsCorp.
Ah yes, the best way to appeal to a youth market on a Myspace blog is to hire 3 career journalists.
Is it little wonder News Corp has done so well with Myspace? 🙂
Congrats to Cam. He’s a damn good writer with a very eclectic style.
Duncan, Cam’s style of writing is very blog like and I have a feeling if I called him a career journalist he’d probably have a heart attack.
