Part One of Two – I guess the first version was too long (it was only one page typed in a word processor!) <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nAs you might have heard, I co-hosted a Blogtalk Radio show on Sunday with the topic of the changes on MySpace and how other social networks like Facebook or FriendBurst might fulfill the wants of a disgruntled MySpace blogging community.\u00a0 Maybe you were one of the 100 live listeners we had tune in.\u00a0 I know that in the grand scheme of things on the internet, 100 participants ain\u2019t a whole lot, but relatively speaking, people were interested.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When I came up with the idea a couple days back, I thought of guests to invite.\u00a0 Graciously agreeing to participate was Kevin Heath, founder and admin of FriendBurst, a new social network that a lot of you have been migrating to this week.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been very active and FriendBurst, and although I recognize that they\u2019ve got some changes that will need to come as part of becoming a larger community, so far, I love the place. Saturday, just on a lark really, I sent a message to Mike Jones asking him to come on as well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No, no\u2026 not THAT <\/em>Mike Jones.\u00a0 Not the rapper.\u00a0 This Mike Jones, the current CEO of MySpace.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I figured if the head of one social network was going to \"\"<\/span><\/span>be joining us, why not another?\u00a0 I know the \u201cfaces\u201d of MySpace must be being bombarded with messages right now due to the change to 3.0, so again, I didn\u2019t honestly expect a response.\u00a0 Lo and behold, much to my surprise, Sunday morning, there in my inbox was a response from Mike Jones!\u00a0 He\u2019d CC\u2019d his staff, inquiring if this was something they should get involved in.
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span> Wow. \u00a0That was kind of cool, but given that we were still small beans, I wasn’t really expecting an official representative from MySpace to come on our show.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nA few messages back and forth with Sean Percival, VP for Online Marketing, later, and I had a commitment from Sean to come on the show too.\u00a0 I was feeling very journalistic by that point!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
