Myspace Should Buy Posterous

Why would Posterous sell to MySpace? They're hemorrhaging money, employees, and users, while Posterous is growing quite well. Selling to MySpace seems like it'd be a terrible idea..

There's no real analysis here.

This is the equivalent of me saying "RIM should buy Apple. They have this cool new iPhone. I really like it. They should buy it."

Maybe, but that's not really how it works.

MySpace is pivoting, from a social network to a music platform for Indie artists. That's where MySpace is going. It isn't (and hasn't) tried to compete with Facebook for years (and I thought the MySpace/Facebook comparisons diesd a while back).

Adding Posterous and/or any microblogging to Myspace's current platform adds no strategic advantage to MySpaces' current service as it stands.

That said, Posterous is pretty awesome. I just don't see how it would be a useful addition to Myspace in anyway.

uh, but Posterous has a higher valuation than MySpace... wish they would work on site performance though...

Too bad someone bought myspace anyway
