Maybe MySpace can start improving shit besides its search engine. Like it's terrible reputation for being craptastic. :)
Scary to think Google paid $900 MILLION to be their search engine.... :/
... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :(
It says Fox sites, I'd expect something like FoxNews would be more valuable than Myspace and perhaps the person who asked the question only mentioned Myspace? You aren't exactly going to say it wasn't a big deal when you paid $900 million for it and some other sites.
Also consider that this may have been a valuable research investment for Google since it will(probably dunno specific details) give them access to peoples music and other things that you sign over to Myspace when you put them on your Myspace.
World of warcraft sold out too. :-[
myspace.com/worldofwarcraft
Dude I am telling you Tom is taking over the world one person at a time. Soon he will ask everybody to go out and kill all Jews for a Top 20.

FoxNews already has a deal with MSN.
I don't think Fox would give Google access to people's music and other things. Google is there mostly for advertising purposes, which will generate them lots of revenue. Searching is something Fox would have to pay them for.

FoxSports does, but I don't believe that FoxNews does...

And FoxNews is a part of Fox that has a contract with Google. That doesn't mean they inherit everything.
FoxNews Corporation is the main company I think.
In that case, FoxNews is the one that signed the contract with Google. And, like I said earlier, FoxSports is the one that is in bed with MSN.
FoxNews owns FoxSports....as I gather.
SO, they still work together in a way

Twentieth Century Fox owns the news, the sports, the films. They're all subsidiaries.
