—Handsets that are working well: “Right now, we are hitting about 2 million daily uniques. I believe we are ranked high in the social networking category. When we built our mobile Website, we did it for a ubiquity play, but what we are seeing is that the highest usage is coming from smartphones with Qwerty’s. So, I think as MySpace mobile develops, we’ll look into targeting different browsers, across carriers and manufacturers.”

—Business Models: Are you seeing more sponsorships, rather than display advertising?. “Yes, we are seeing much more interest through a more robust integrated package [across online and mobile].”

—International: We just recently updated the Web site in Europe, both off-deck and on-deck. The one thing we haven’t done is promote the site, it’s all been through viral. But going forward we’ll integrate mobile back into Web site, so you know there is a mobile product when you are on the Web.”

—Competition from startups using location: “Certainly MySpace has an advantage there because it has a big user base. We have the ability to extend it to mobile, but then create a unique compelling experience on mobile. You’ll also see in the near future, MySpace is focusing on core communication components, but also making a move into the mobile social portal with all of our user-generated content. Location based services is something we are considering heavily. Safety and consideration is key to our users. With mobile, the idea of a buddy finder, or knowing where your friends are at. You have to have granular control so one friend can see where I am, whereas a person I met yesterday could see it on a city-level.”

—MySpace Music: “It’s launching in the next few weeks. It’s a free ad-supported streaming service, which let’s everyone become their own DJ. In the music space, we want to provide one on mobile, too, and we are aggressively looking into it….You still have a tight control on the distribution and revenue around that. We’ll be working with them to make a compelling MySpace mobile component in the future.”
