VentureBeat: Confirmed: Courtney Holt to be new MySpace Music CEO

    Hopefully, he will have the desire to push the envelope with the technology that is already available. I’d love see Myspace Music actually innovate the music industry for real. First, as anyone that has seen CNN.com Live knows, internet video streams are like watching television now. Myspace Music has a real opportunity to become a global streaming version of MTV. I’d love to see a weekly live music program with an in-studio audience, a global streaming version of the Myspace Music Awards (similar to the MTV music awards but worldwide), and other content that will engage. What artist wouldn’t want to play to Myspace Music’s global audience of 160,000,000. Imagine debuting a new CD that way. And since it’s the web, the audience could push one button below the live video streams and have access to every song the artist ever did. It would be a live version of a point of purchase display that reaches 160,000,000. Now that’s what I call revolutionary.

    Good points, Tracy. Given Holt's background with MTV, it'd make sense for him to push the service in that direction.

    My girlfriend bought me a pair of Chestnut color UGG boots short for Christmas.
