Social Media Reading - 061609 Part Two

  • MySpace Slashes 30% of Jobs - Job cuts will bring number of US employees to 1,000 and will be across all job units.
  • Top U.S. Online Search Providers - Google controlled 63% of the search in May, 2009. It will be interesting to see if the Microsoft Bing marketing blitz cuts into that over the next couple of months.
  • LA Times: How MySpace Fell Off the Pace - The article tries to place the blame on Facebook being the "next thing" and that's why it surpassed MySpace in traffic. In actuality, MySpace was always the platform for the "in crowd" of teenagers and young adults. It never scaled to older adults.
  • Wild Apricot Blog: NTEN: Non-Profit Technology Report: Size Doesn't Matter - For those that don't have time to read the whole report, Rebecca posts a great summary highlighting that when it comes to technology the size of the organization really doesn't matter. It reinforces the thought that a lot of people are throwing out there right now that planning and strategy are key to success for your organization.
