MySpace Talks Content
MySpace's Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolf were on the Charlie Rose Show on Tuesday. Content was a big aspect of the discussion. MySpace wants to be the de facto source of entertainment content, and music is a big part of that strategy. During the interview, the word "music" was mentioned 12 times.
From the transcript of the show (available in this post at TechCrunch).
Charlie Rose: So tell me where we are for anybody who does not know tell them what MySpace is and what it is becoming.Chris DeWolf: All right, so really MySpace is a social portal. And many people think that it’s just a social network where you go on there and talk to your friends but it’s really about discovery and it’s about discovering people, content and culture. When I’m talking about content, it could be music. We have the biggest music catalog in the world and you’re notified every time one of your friends uploads a new song so it’s a primary way on how people discover new music. It’s a primary way that people discover new videos. We have the biggest library of professional videos in the world.
And later:
Charlie Rose: So I’ll just turn to Tom. So where are you going? Tell me where MySpace will be.Tom Anderson: Hopefully onward and upward. We want more people, more countries, more content, and so we’re always just trying to see how we can appeal to more people. And it’s easy when you have things like what Chris described, the whole world’s music catalog, the whole world’s film and television catalog. We’re bringing more and more and more content on, more than you can get even on YouTube, professional TV shows, the full episode, things like that. So, you know, we’re trying to take every aspect of the our business and just make it richer and fuller to attract more people.
And later:
Tom Anderson: ...We try to focus on the whole world and all the things that people are interested in, rather than just people to people, or one to one communication.blog comments powered by Disqus
