MySpace worth 12 Billion to Yahoo?

Yahoo may swipe up MySpace for 25/30% of it’s stock… holy lord! From 580 million to 12 billion? Yahoo is supposedly worth around 40 billion dollars and they are willing to give 25% of their stock to Murdoch for Myspace. Even though Yahoo probably needs Myspace to compete with Google giving away 25% of your company is a big deal. Read more here.

“A deal would demonstrate a remarkably swift return on News Corp’s investment in MySpace, which it acquired for $580 million in summer 2005.

Yesterday Yahoo! was worth $37 billion. A quarter stake in an enlarged company would be worth $12.3 billion.”

Is Myspace the worst site ever or is it just me?

Every time I get on myspace to log on or reply or do anything it has errors. It is so frustrating. I’m thinking that a site that makes 25 million a month could afford more servers or programmers or whatever they need so their site works, but I am way wrong. It’s been like this for awhile too. Nothing they have added in the past months has made my experience any better. I’ve never added myspace videos or used their IM service or what have you. Why would I use their video service when youtube is much easier and more familiar? Why hasn’t google started a Gspace site to rival them? Orkut doesn’t count, it’s a bad name and isn’t easy to spell or something you want to tell your friends about. It looks ugly from the start. It’s not a site you want to join, atleast for me.

Myspace seems like it’s totally out of control. They seem to be building more features onto a site that doesn’t work. It needs a total overhaul from the ground up. I’m sure that won’t happen any time soon. It would cut into their monthly ad revenue. I’ve said this for awhile, but Myspace’s time has come and gone.

Myspace makes 25 Million a month in Ad Revenue

If you’ve ever wondered how much myspace makes in ad revenue a month please watch this video. Rupert Murdoch talks about it all.

As you know social networking is the biggest thing on the internet right now and I pay close attention to what is going on. Afterall there is big money to be made, seeing how myspace sold for 580 million and youtube sold for 1.6 billion.
