Sony takes on MySpace

Sony has just launched VAIO Nation, a social networking website that it hopes will be its answer to MySpace.

The site is aimed at creative types – primarily in the fields of music and film – who want to share ideas and skills with the community. The community itself includes some well-known talent including DJ Norman Jay and rapper Plan B, who will be posting regular blogs and have, according to Sony, created their latest work on VAIO laptops using its audio and video editing software.

Looks like Sony has a loooooooooong way to go!:)

ITR6967d ago

Myspace? You taking on...isn't it Fox that owns(most of) Myspace?

Best watch out Sony. Fox might change/or support HD-DVD.

TriggerHappy6967d ago

Myspace has been well established. Taking on myspace is like you US going to IRAN. good luck Sony.

techie6967d ago

myspace has already been overtaken by Facebook in the UK...

Xeoset6967d ago

Actually MySpace overruns everyone above 18.
Bebo is the largest still, but it's majority of members are 13-16.

I've never even seen FaceBook.

Yeah, the Facebook fad is the first thing that came to my mind as well. Here in Canada, all my younger cousins (who used to rave about Myspace) are now ALL about Facebook...and it just seemed to have creeped up overnight.

Sadly, you know you're getting old when you excitedly look up members from your high school graduation year ('93), and it turns up with no search results. :(

On the bright side, my year appears to be the current cutoff for oldness, because I do recognize a lot of people from '94! So I guess I'm still old...but the YOUNGEST of the old!!!

'Scuse me now while I go soak my dentures and change my Depends.

It would be like if some company started a search engine and toppled Yahoo..... er, hmmm.

I see a lot of people using that, there are too many of these sites really. People can't keep up with their own lives let alone 2 or 3 on pages scattered on every form of mediums. Well I think Facebook used to be College only.

techie6967d ago

Things change...it's the best way to find old friends. Use it at uni as well for discussions with lecturers.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing23d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit23d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing23d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9223d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
