MySpace CEO is out after less than a year

[Randy]

MySpace Chief Executive Owen Van Natta is stepping down less than one year after assuming the job, parent company News Corp. announced late on Wednesday.





Owen took on an incredible challenge in working to refocus and revitalize MySpace, and the business has shown very positive signs recently as a result of his dedicated work, Miller said in the statement. However, in talking to Owen about his priorities both personally and professionally going forward, we both agreed that it was best for him to step down at this time. I want to thank Owen for all of his efforts.

Van Natta said MySpace had made real gains in terms of product focus and user experience and that he is proud of the work we've all accomplished together.

Sadly myspace is on a downward spiral. They need to do something to get all them people off of facebook.

I suppose they can start by getting rid of the reputation of being a haven for pedophiles, get rid of that loud auto starting music and horrible themes that are all over myspace. I can't stand when I can barely read anything that's on it not to mention get hit with loud and annoying music. I mean it's nice you want a player on your myspace but at least make it so it don't play by itself.



Facebook doesn't have any of those issues hence why it's more popular IMO.
