MySpace Videos Changing To MySpace TV

MySpace is really trying hard to compete with other networks that are either creeping up on them or overtaken tgen akready. YouTube seems to be one that has got away. So they are really trying to get some users back to use their MySpace Video system.

According to the NY Times  MySpace is trying and get a few users back by renaming the site to MySpace TV. This could also link up to the recent deals they have done with NBC.

The new service will be set up as an independent Web site (www.myspacetv.com) that people can visit to share and watch video, even if they have not signed up for MySpace. This sis a big step as for almost all the other serivces you need to be signed in. If they didn’t do this they would definitely not be able to compete with other video sites.

Timothy Tuttle, a vice president at America Online has said:

I’m not surprised MySpace is promoting video heavily. YouTube is becoming a social network that is maybe even more powerful than MySpace. So they are rightly focusing on that.

It’s probably a case of MySpace TV being better late than never in launching, even if YouTube has doubled its traffic since October and is now even harder to challenge.
