Now, here's something to take the cool away from MySpace Music. The Sun is considering launching its own MySpace spin off called MySun, offering Sun readers the opportunity to network with other Sun-reading idiots through their own MySpace community. The Sun community will link in to the wider MySpace network which is, of course, now owned by Sun proprietor Rupert Murdoch.
Me old mate Rupert (though, if I'm being honest, Rolf's a better mate) was talking up MySpace during a speech he gave in London on Monday night. He said: "This is a generation, now popularly referred to as the 'MySpace generation', talking to itself in a world without frontiers. It is just one example of how the media, with its ability to reach millions with information, entertainment and education, can use the achievements of technology to create better and more interesting lives for a great many people. And it is one reason why I believe we are at the dawn of a golden age of information - an empire of new knowledge".
He continued: "Of course, all the really cool people are signing up as 'friends' on the CMU Beats MySpace page - where I believe there is also a link to the wonderful CMU radio show". According to Murdoch, the CMU MySpace page is at http://www.myspace.com/cmubeats
