Instead of taking time to broker a deal with Apple to secure the new iPhone for the Fall, Rogers has taken a horrible turn by contracting a new service with MySpace, bringing the social networking site into the cellular world. I cannot imagine what this would look like. Words that come to mind are watered-down, mediocre, and pointless.

MySpace itself is an eye soar to the world of web standards, as everyday users mangle code in every direction using theme generators and posting flash-ap upon flash-ap. Don't get me wrong, I think that pages like MySpace are actually much more empowering to the average youth as there is much more room for creativity and experimentation with code compared to sites like Facebook.

Facebook does everything for you, where as to get your MySpace page looking pimp one must seek out solutions, experiment with CSS, and gain a basic understanding of html. This is no doubt cool, but of course results in an array of messy code which is hard to adapt to multiple platforms. Will you get to see all the cool videos that artists embed code to, or will it only be MySpace videos and MySpace music? This will encourage artists to adapt their content to the cellular platform, hence giving MySpace more control over independent media.

Once your stuff is on MySpace, do you really own it anymore? MySpace can use it for anything, and with the recent corporate Fox takeover, that means that you're song could be on a sitcom with little royalties rolling out to you. But does that really matter? *insert sarcasm*

You'll be a MySpace superstar!
