Beware Myspacers

Beware Myspacers. Your days of corporate-hating, indie-loving, networking among fellow net dorks has come to an end. Yesterday, the conservative News Corp bought out the popular company for an estimated $580 million. Say goodbye to your free spirit...and all the strippers who love their profiles.

I don't know what this will mean for the millions of people fixated on the site, but it could be bad. Just remember that News Corp. owns Fox News Channel and the NY Post, among other things. So don't be surprised if you start getting a bunch of junk mail and unwanted ads.
