Nothing’s going on at MySpace News (duh)
Liz Foreman May 15th, 2007
TechCrunch reports that MySpace News, which works off of a digg/pligg/Reddit-type model, is not getting much traffic.
I agree with TechCrunch’s Marshall Kirkpatrick, how can the news area get traffic if there’s no link to it anywhere on MySpace?
While some people diss MySpace users as kids who don’t care about news, this isn’t the problem. MySpace’s has to improve their design in order to lead existing users to auxiliary features. Why not drop a few “top headlines” onto everyone’s profile page? If one of those headlines was about Britney Spears, you’d bet MySpace News would get plenty of clicks.

I can’t believe I’m about to post this, but there is only one “t” in Britney.
