I pointed out in an earlier article (http://m4th.com/Articles/Article.php?Article-Title=Anatomy-of-a-Successful-Social-Network) that MySpace owes much of its success to the countless choices it offers to its users. Over the past couple of months, however, MySpace has turned greedy. Rupert Murdoch feels that online widgets are a zero-sum game; in other words, widget companies make profit at the expense of MySpace. This couldn't be further from the truth; the fact is that widgets complement MySpace by giving its users the choice to decorate their pages anyway they want. By restricting access to these widgets, MySpace will not only frustrate the users but also generate unprecedented negative publicity. - Jawad Shuaib
