This spring will see the launch of Myspace TV, a new venture by the social networking site, another name thrown into a flurry of activity surrounding online TV at the moment with Google making a deal with vendors to include Android on their devices, and the results of a report revealing that while use of online TV is growing, it’s still not as popular and traditional TV. TV is an interesting move for Myspace, indicating that online TV is set to become more and more prominent in 2012. Social Media Times reported that the co-owner of Myspace Justin Timberlake, announced at CES 2012: “We’re ready to take television and entertainment to the next step by upgrading it to the social networking experience.”’ Digital Trends said that the announcement was made during a Panasonic press conference, as Panasonic ‘will be one of the first TV companies to support MySpace TV via its Viera Connect interface’.
A few years ago, Myspace was perhaps best known for being the place many musical acts first got noticed by fans and made it big. The site now brands itself as a “social entertainment destination”, with an emphasis on music and celebrity. Myspace’s appeal has waned in recent years, so it seems natural that with stiff competition from other social network sites, that Myspace would choose to diversify in a bid to stand out from the crowd and offer something unique, something that will change people’s perceptions of the site and how it’s used. So what will Myspace TV offer? The announcement on the Myspace site says: ‘Whether you’re watching on a TV, laptop, tablet or smartphone, Myspace TV allows you to discover, share and comment on all the programs you and your friends are watching.’
The World’s First “Wedding Crasher” IPhone App Launches
A couple of creatives in New York have come up with a new app that has just launched that lets you crash weddings. Loosely based on the film Wedding Crashers this app lets you find weddings in the area, tells you what to wear and even gives you information about the couple and people attending so as you can talk to anybody at the wedding and not seem out of place.
To add an extra layer, you can even complete tasks at the wedding like taking pictures. Earning points helps you get up the leader board nationally of wedding crashers using the app. After all, weddings are a place where people like to have fun, there is often free food and drink and a large amount of single people looking to have an amazing time. The perfect party.
Although the app is well thought out and pretty slick, you have to think of this as more of a publicity stunt for the guy’s work rather than something that people are going to be using on a wide scale around the world. While the thought of crashing weddings is a great one and it works well in the movies, we can’t see thousands of people downloading the app and pulling their finest clothes on. Top marks for a creative concept though that will get attention on blogs and websites all over the world in the coming days.
