MySpace cuts 30% of staff

Return to Start-Up Culture a Focus for Company Moving ForwardAs part of a plan to

restructure itself into a more innovative, efficient, and entrepreneurial business, MySpace announced today that it will reduce its staff by nearly 30%. This restructuring plan crosses all U.S. divisions of the company and lowers the total number of domestic staff at MySpace to 1,000 employees.

"Simply put, our staffing levels were bloated and hindered our ability to be an efficient and nimble team-oriented company," said MySpace Chief Executive Officer Owen Van Natta. "I understand that these changes are painful for many. They are also necessary for the long-term health and culture of MySpace. Our intent is to return to an environment of innovation that is centered on our user and our product."



"MySpace grew too big considering the realities of today's marketplace," said Jonathan Miller, News Corporation's CEO of Digital Media and Chief Digital Officer. "I believe this restructuring will help MySpace operate much more effectively both structurally and financially moving forward. I am confident in MySpace's next phase under the leadership of Owen and his team."

Facebook has become the bigger player in the social networking arena and MySpace may be in more of a user decline than what the company is suggesting. Some complain that lack of advertising is one of the main reasons that some users prefer Facebook, while MySpace has a large ad inventory and uses it in such a way that many complain that they are drowning in advertising.
