News Corp had bought MySpace, for a jaw-dropping price of $580 million. Today, News Corp has sold of MySpace for a surprisingly low price of $30 million. This makes it one of the biggest riche

The details are still not crystal clear, but it is certain that, MySpace will not survive as a social network. It might be adapted into a social advertising platform.
MySpace music is also one very successful free music streaming services. It was probably one of MySpace’s biggest positive.

A case for not selling out!
When Facebook was still in its infancy and hardly popular, MySpace ruled to social networking world. It had a great buzz, but it died down particularly after being bought by News Corp. Orkut was bought by Google and its ascendancy stopped.
Facebook founders never sold their company and we see how it has continues to grow rapidly with valuation in several billions.
Twitter have probably received offers to be bought, but Twitter founders have resisted. Going by how MySpace and Orkut worked out after being acquired by larger companies, I guess they are doing the right thing.
