Social Times: MySpace Launches Streaming Video for Mobile

  • dcSportsGuy · 11 months ago
    Recent upgrades to the MySpace platform and service such as this streaming video for mobile are major moves for the company and ones that we will certainly keep many of their users from matriculating over to Facebook.

    As far as overall growth is concerned, features such as HD video and streaming video to mobile, more instantly resonate with the younger demographic 14-25 but that is not necessarily the demographic that is spurring on Facebook's recent growth in the United States ... it's the younger demographic's older siblings, parents, and relatives. The older demographic has a "trust" issue with MySpace and feels more comfortable with Facebook as a tool to connect with family and friends. MySpace would be better served combating Facebook by going after this demographic and mobile video is not the solution.
