Myspace offers free mobile site on any network
Posted by Carolyn Lo on March 19, 2008 at 10:11 AM
Mobile may be the future of the web and news, and Myspace has embraced this possibility by launching a free-access mobile version of its website, which is monetized by ads. YouTube had made this move in January.
Currently, Myspace is using subscription-based, carrier-specific applications, but the new mobile site will be offered on any network.
Some news sites, such as The New York Times, offer mobile news through text messages, while others such as CNN has for now rejected the idea of changing its content for mobile phones. If the world's number one social networking site succeeds with its mobile site, perhaps it will give news site an incentive in going mobile.
