BusinessWeek's Jon Fine takes Rupert Murdoch tell-all author Michael Wolff out for dinner. Michael then reveals the secret he didn't put into the book: why Murdoch's News Corp (NWS) is trying so hard to ditch MySpace:MW: What [MySpace] understand[s] is their $25 billion to $30 billion valuation.-JF: But that's [expletive].

: What a loser of a comment from Wolff: "if you’re on MySpace now, you’re a [expletive] cretin. And you’re not only a [expletive] cretin, but you’re poor. Nobody who has beyond an 8th grade level of education is on MySpace. It is for backwards people."

: This may be true! ;-) Je suis canadien! That's most of my French right there! There is just so much information. And lot's of different opinions, that all have a valid point of view, to some extent. I try not to limit myself to my HOME TOWN! Every place we visit, we enjoy talking to the LOCALS, and seeing what is going on, and maybe pass along some insight to somethings that they heard about Canada, cause we're not that much different! We've done the snowbird route, and stopped in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Eastern Tennessee, NC, SC, Georgia, Florida. New York & Connecticut too. But judging by the social links most users on here have, I still have a long way to go to be TOTALLY CONNECTED! ;-)
: @limey59 That's good. I feel it's so important to understand other perspectives. I'm a firm believer that we learn about more about ourselves by learning about each other.
