News Corp. is reportedly trying to sell MySpace for $100 million, a fraction of the $580 million it originally paid for the social network in 2005. Parties interested in acquiring MySpace include private equity firm THL Partners, Redscout Ventures and Criterion Capital, owner of social network Bebo (the company AOL bought for $850 million and then sold for $10 million). Chinese Internet holding company Tencent is also reportedly interested, and so is MySpace co-founder Chris De Wolfe. What's not yet clear is what any of these companies plan to do with MySpace if a sale goes through.

580m to 100m, 850m to 10m. Seems stupid internet users make a few rich, a very few...

I'm only guessing here - myspace was HUGE at one point - I'm thinking FB put a couple of bullets into it. There was friendster before myspace - how many people remember that site?

What these bidders would want to do with it, I'm not sure - harvest information off the users, maybe....

Correction:

BENews Corp. is reportedly trying to sell MySpace for a one day lease of a pickup truck and 42 shopping carts, a fraction of the $580 million it originally paid for the social network site.

Still betting the big move works out fine, no luck needed with friends.

I think BE was banned from Myspace

This is another indication that with enough money, it has no value or is controlled by idiots. Betting on internet users...

I read an article last month saying that by the end of the year MySpazz would be no more.

Too much bullshit; to many ads; to much corporate crap.

And FaceBook is following suit so something else will pop up I am sure.

I was thinking of calling it BEScreammmmmmscape.

MyFace will rebrand. Probably get some of it's old users back. It will be fun to see whether they cater to college students and professionals or the ________.
