MASHABLE BLOG -- Nov 2 -- Brad Greenspan, the guy who started the company that created MySpace before it was sold to News Corp in July 2005 is suing News Corp over alleged censorship and launched CensorSpace, a blog that aims to shed light on MySpace's tendency to block certain services. Brad is opposed to MySpace blocking certain widgets. In the past they've blocked (and later reinstated) players from YouTube and Revver. Now they've blocked players from Brad's video-sharing site, Vidilife. He's also standing up for Photobucket, Imageshack, and Slide.com, all of which he thinks could be at risk of being blocked in future. FULL ARTICLE @ MASHABLE BLOG
Mark Brooks: Can you imagine the board room wrangling? Should MySpace block competitive services, or not? Your comments please...
Widgets keep MySpace fun and fresh. The best and most influential industries/sites empower young entrepreneurs to join their echo system and enhance the user experience. Such moves by MySpace will hurt them in the long haul.
