The MySpace Economy

Wow, this is really smart:
WhoseSpace is MySpace

All these little startups driven by MySpace? Maybe. Flickr could do without the emo's. Really. MySpace is no "Web 2.0" that's for damn sure. There's a sort of aesthetic that comes with the label...

But YouTube? I'm inclined to agree with Cuban and say they are basically a hosting service. Add in a social layer, but they all got that now (and some do it better).

Then again, it is very simple-- which people are craving more. The long tail may be eating itself...
