Myspace Seeking “Search Partner”

Myspace, apparently in response to my May 23rd post stated that it presently has no direct relationship with Yahoo! It is however now seeking a search partner. Or is that better stated as, “We are now seeking a buyer because our growth prospects are now becoming limited.”????? This could get quite interesting.

On a completely unrelated note, if you are a Myspace user have you noticed how the “search term” that was always number two as long as I can remember is suddenly no longer anywhere in the “top ten” and that video is now there in it’s place? It suggests that either this data was always arbitrary (the rankings seem very static now that I think about it) or was censored by new ownership due to the content of that former number two entry. Regardless of which it is (or some combination of both), neither would be a very good business practice in terms of transparency and trust with the user base. Maybe a month from now, Myspace will comment on this as well?
