   Hmmm

   It's strange, it seems Murdoch hasn't come up with a viable profit model for these sites that he's buying. He's purchasing eyeballs but doesn't know what to do with them yet. Should be interesting to see what happens...

   ???

   Anyone get the feeling that the Jumping the shark entry in Wikipedia is nothing more than a big advertisment for jumptheshark.com

   who say's he's not profiting

   Murdoch knows what he's doing. You think myspace makes him money, the advertising doesn't. But just think... he's sitting on top of the worlds best marketing tool. Instead of paying some ad firm to go figure out what kids want they all sign up and tell him. Now everything from his brands to every single show and ad on fox can be targeted by the information he gains from these sites.

   I predict that by this time next year, Murdock will get the Malachi Crunch.

   This has nothing to do with Rupert

   It is simply the fact that Jon Hein is the man.

    By this time next year...

    Rupert Murdoch will still have more money than all of us combined, regardless of any bad decisions he makes and won't be wasting time posting to the techdirt his infinate wisdom that everyone really cares about as we do. Hmmm.

    You're not paying attention are you?
