Getting in just under the deadline for intra-week symmetry, word arrives that MySpace is preparing to launch a service that will allow users to post dynamically aggregated, real-time news and blog entries on their personal pages. MySpace will also compile topical news pages, and commenting and story ranking will be available throughout. This essentially would put MySpace users in the editor's chairs of their own little publications, able to exercise their version of news judgment and commentary, not to mention providing one less reason for a visitor to stray elsewhere for news. Given the demographics of MySpace, it's likely that most of the user-selected news content won't woo away regular readers of the New York Times or anything, but room remains for people to do some smart aggregation in the niches.
Oh, the symmetry? This nicely balances out the launch this week of USATODAY.com's redesign, which incorporates the kind of reader interaction made popular by the social sites."
