POPSYahoo downgrades its music offerings... While everyone talks about Yahoo's new social-networking site in beta-testing (aka Yahoo Mash), some recent changes in Yahoo's music offerings have gone unnoticed. First, Yahoo's Music Unlimited song subscription service no longer offers NEW USERS the option to transfer their songs to their portable music player. In addition, Yahoo has dumped its directory of podcasts. Do these actions mark a change in Yahoo's online music strategy? Maybe they'll tie in music sharing and recommending with their Yahoo Mash site. Too soon to tell, but I'll keep you updated with new information as it becomes available.

POPSIs MySpace now business-friendly? According to Mashable, MySpace may open its platform to developers as soon as next week. This is welcome news to critics of MySpace who have traditionally discouraged users from marketing on Mypace. Time will only tell how far MySpace will go with being a "business-friendly" community and how their new platform will differ from those offered by Facebook and other social-networking sites.

POPSMySpace vs. Facebook - The New Digital Divide "Mashup" was a social media conference held earlier this year by YPulse.com, a popular blog for marketers targeting the Generation Y audience. One of the keynoters, Danah Boyd, briefly discussed an interesting trend regarding the different audiences that MySpace and Facebook serve. Is there a digital divide now among social networking sites? Does Facebook attract more upwardly-mobile high school students (i.e. - those that are college bound) while MySpace attracts kids who just want to hang out and have fun? Watch the keynote videos on ypulsecasts.com and voice your opinion.

The Save Your Space petition opposes this infringement on your rights to access and express yourself on the Internet. Sign the petition and share your thoughts on the Deleting Online Predators Act, the Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act and the Social Networking Website Prohibition Act.
