When Rupert Murdoch bought MySpace in 2006 it had 21million members
and it was valued at $580million,We offer advanced technology products
and services for zentai
garage control, when he sold it last night, it had 35 million users
and was worth $35million. That is 6% of the 2006 price. Given that the
number of users had increased a bit - why the drastic tumble in the
value?
Also factor the heady state of the tech market for
example that start-ups like Square* (which few outside tech world have
heard of) got valued at $1billion only last week, why is MySpace worth
so little?
1) MySpace is unlucky to have one of the best companies on the internet as a rival
There
are rivals and competing services in most areas of the internet,
unfortunately, MySpace's rival is Facebook, genuinely one of the most
successful and innovative companies on the internet.offers various cubepuzzles such as pet food, This is kind of the issue that AskJeeves.com had with Google.
2) Users have been devalued
Back
in 2005 when Facebook had 8 million users a month, MySpace's 20million
users a month was good. Now, in this age of mass digitisation you need
a lot more than that to impress. Many more people are on the internet
and so MySpace's current 34million users is worth a lot less than it
would have been 6 years ago.
It's the same with hits on websites.
The currency of unique users has been devalued. Facebook now has
700million uniques a month. That's what they need to be aiming for.
3) Future prospects are dim
Start-ups
like Square get lots of attention and heady valuations because people
are betting on their potential to go massive. They expect they'd get a
high return on their investment. It's fair to say that despite MySpace's
significant audience, it has little potential to move in the
space.Shop for wholesalecableties , clothing and accessories for adidas OriginalsRepresent manufacturers of solarpanel78
processing machinery, Facebook dominates the social networking sphere
and nimbler smaller groups like Twitter fill in the gaps it can't
reach. As for music - the market is even more packed, and even less
profitable. Spotify is making a successful business out of online
music,Welcome to order coldsores, but it is one of the only companies to do.
4) It loses money.
Oh
yes - this. NewsCorp don't release the exact figures for MySpace but
the division it's in is losing money, something in the millions of
dollars range. That needs to be fixed.
The U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday
rejected convicted murderer Richard Lynn Bible's request to delay his Thursday
execution for the 1988 murder of a 9-year-old girl in Flagstaff.
It was
the latest in a string of last-minute rejections in the case: The Arizona
clemency board voted 5-0 Monday against Bible and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals denied his appeal late Tuesday.
Bible is scheduled to be put to
death by lethal injection Thursday in the state prison complex in Florence. He
would become the 27th inmate executed in Arizona since 1992, according to the
Department of Corrections.
The state's last execution,Rubber Flooring

Bible was convicted in

The 9-year-old girl was last seen by her parents riding her bike to a ranch
where the family was staying in Flagstaff.Notes on Rubik's chickencoops, Her parents drove
past her on the way, but Jennifer never arrived.
Jennifer's mother told
police that she saw a man driving a "Blazer-type vehicle" in the area where her
daughter disappeared.General plasticcard set information. That
same day, Bible's brother reported to police that Bible was in a similar car.
Bible was arrested that evening in a stolen GMC and confessed to car
theft.
Jennifer's naked body was found three weeks later on top of Sheep
Hill ¡ª near where Bible's brother lived ¡ª hidden under branches and debris
near a tree. Her hands were tied behind her back with a shoelace and she had
suffered multiple blows to the head that caused her death.
Also at the
scene, police found rubber bands, small vodka bottles, hot-chocolate packets and
cigars that matched items in the GMC, and a piece of metal that matched a piece
missing from the car's steering column.

from a large, that had been cut in a pattern that police were able to duplicate
using knives found in Bible's possession, court documents said. Blood and hair
on his clothes and in the car matched hers, and hair on the sheet used to wrap
her body matched his.
Bible was convicted on April 12, 1990, after a
six-week trial, of kidnapping, child molestation and first-degree murder.
In his latest appeals, Bible has argued for DNA testing of hairs found
at the scene, saying it would prove that "hairs taken from his clothes and car
are not the victim's, and that the hairs found on or near the victim are not
his," court documents said.
Bible also argued that DNA results may point
to another suspect, a known sex offender, at the crime scene.
The
federal appeals court rejected the claim, noting the "overwhelming evidence"
against Bible could not be overcome by any DNA evidence the hair would provide.
It also rejected his claims that he had inadequate counsel.
Supreme
Court Justice Anthony Kennedy on Wednesday rejected Bible's request for a stay
of execution. Bible's attorney said later Wednesday that the condemned man

"There are no other matters pending," said Dale Baich, the assistant
