VentureBeat: MySpace founders shortchanged, Yahoo’s binge over, Timebridge, Mashery, FON, Workday

    If Myspace founders got $5million each when they sold it for $580 million, then that means they are in a big lose! That is too bad for them to get that amount of money...such a chicken feed!!!!lol
    I pity them...Too bad.

    Everyone seems to miss the point that InterMix bought MySpace long before it was a big deal. InterMix was public and owned several web properties. So of course the MySpace founders didn't get that much when Fox bought InterMix. The reporting on the InterMix/MySpace purchase has been generally pretty poorly researched as these are basic facts that have been consistently missed.

    The above news is still very much a rumour so Smiley, why do you have to "pity them", the myspace founders? If you are that easy to sell, then let me know where you are. I have this nice thing called "earth" for sales...

    Matt, actually I understand that Rees-Gallanter is only the interim head of U.S. operations, and that she'll transition into an advisory board member. (Maybe there's still hope for FON yet.)

    "...an interview with Ross Levinsohn (pictured above), who runs Media News’ Fox Interactive division..."

    Dean owns Fox?

    Ahem, thanks Ryan. As former Merc News employee, I'm too close to this. Fixed!
