Yesterday I commented about MySpace and Harper Collins partnering up, asking if it was a precursor to the model of a 21st century publisher. It was a natural extension, mind you, but something I thought about back in 2004-05 and never ran with, because basically MySpace was a cinch to do it as the leading social network out there (by late 2004) and a sister property of Harper Collins (by May 2005).
Today MySpace took it one step further by announcing a partnership with Virgin Comics… building on what I think could really work: a social network/community/marketplace for intellectual property. I think MySpace is way too chaotic for that to happen, but as a community of writers and creative types? Definitely… it already is, anyway, adding some bells and whistles only makes sense.
