Tila Tequila vs. Myspace

Tila Tequila

We’ve covered both Tila Tequila and myspace before (many times). Now, Tila has made news by posting a complaint on her Myspace page about their terms of use. It seems that they have asked her to remove “widgets” that link to an Indie911 Hoooka widget/MP3 store.
According to the New York Times, Tila wrote in a blog posting over the weekend that “the reason why I am so bummed out about MySpace now is because recently they have been cutting down our freedom and taking away our rights slowly.” I couldn’t find this on her blog; perhaps she took it down in order to make up. This story has also been covered by Wired and ZDNet. What really impressed me is the quote from Michael Barrett, chief revenue officer for Fox Interactive Media, a part of the News Corporation, showing that he is completely clueless about the business: “We probably should have stopped YouTube.” My guess is that Myspace as we know it will soon be history. Sorry about that, Sachiko!
