An interesting article in Wired on Fox's aquisition of Myspace.

Santa Cruz, California corporate-weekly article: MySpace Invaders

Santa Cruz artists consider the pros and cons of selling themselves to Rupert Murdoch

myspace is a baby. Google is the new Ali Baba on the block, gullible masses are giving google infomation(stock) for free not mentioning the "Adsense"and google is making a fortune. What a laugh!!!! Uh, they also put profit before human rights in China.

Seems that ye-olde-Indymedia is a tad out of date - it takes ages to post, you don't know who else is online, there are no tools to organise a riot (oops event), and where are the poster profiles?
Given the lies told by the evil Australian (oops American) I doubt that 'free speech' is allowed on 'stalk-space'. I detect market opportunity! Time to make Indymedia the place for people wanting to 'be the media' and do more with their time than check out the local talent. Indymedia could evolve along the lines of 'Slashdot' rather than 'Stalk-space', maybe with one global site instead of lots of unconnected 'local' sites stuffed with dull reposts.
So long as a committee doesn't have to botch it, a tried and tested open-source 'postNuke' could be put together in a weekend. We could leave it to the individual readers to decide what they censor and lock it down so that the government snitches cannot surf in the shadows. All possible with cryptography.
Who is up for Indymedia2?

You got me thinking!

I'm game: time to upgrade/update and make this a meaningful and more real-time virtual space

though actually it sounds like a standard forum. Anyway, yes, interested and would also be interested in participating in some way.
