Myspace turns Old Media

Here’s one more reason why Myspace is lame….

After hearing Sen. Ted Stevens’ now infamous description of the internet as a “series of tubes,” Andrew Raff sang the senator’s words over a folksy ditty and anonymously posted it to MySpace.com, where about 2,500 people listened to the tune, thanks to a link from one of the net’s top blogs.

On Tuesday, MySpace canceled the TedStevensFanClub account, telling Raff that the social-networking site, now owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., had received a “credible complaint of your violation of the MySpace Terms of Services.”

Hmm, now that myspace is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, it seems like they will be taking a more active interest in what people say on myspace. Very old media indeed.
