April 15th, 2008Myspace Goes to Korea.
Myspace release a Korean version of their site with an emphasis on its openness via OpenSocial.
Myspace in an bid for growth is opening up the site to Korean users (with India in the pipeline).
What is particularly telling about this announcement is that they will be heavily promoting
the Open nature of their platform to spur user/developer adoption of OpenSocial.
From our point of view, there are only plusses to this move. As the currently english dominated Social
networks reach saturation point, the easiest way to acquire new users (and deny them to the competition)
is to go international is a big and relevant way. This opens up the avenues/oppourtunity of having applications
made in the English version being ported to the international versions.
Note that Facebook too has been going down this route with the (now finished) Spanish version.
There are more country specific versions in the works for these social networks and we'll definately be keeping an eye on these as they are released.
