Google Owns Your Soul, and Now Myspace As Well Michael Bucks

November 2nd, 2007

Google dealt a clean slap to the facebook yesterday with it’s acquisition of Myspace, Bebo, and Six Apart for it’s Open Social initiative. They join Orkut, LinkedIn, Ning, Hi5, Salesforce (that makes me happy), Plaxo, Friendster, Viadeo and Oracle as Google’s new partners in the battle against Facebook.

I’ll avoid the obvious anti-trust jabs and say that Open Social looks like a pretty solid platform. Orkut has opened a limited sandbox for developers to start getting their feet wet with what is sure to become as ubiquitous as, well, Google.

    The title is misleading - Google does not actually ‘own’ myspace… yet.
