New CEO for News Corp

At announced today there will be a new man in charge at News Corp. It is the former executive CEO of AOL. How will this benefit the company and how impressive was his resume for getting the job? Mr. Miller the former CEO of AOL has done many things will his techno career. First off I remember how booming AOL used to be. Everyone had to have instant messenger set up and it was just as addicting as Facebook and Myspace are now. Mr. Miller will be in charge of Myspace, Photobucket, and other joint-ventures with NBC Universal. His name will once again shine. Myspace has recently been in a downward fall since the boom of Facebook and Twitter. Myspace started to get too much scandal from creepy people stalking younger members of the website and then when Facebook opened up to accept anyone even if they were not associated with a school their members sored will Myspace fell off. Then comes Twitter which a lot of people haven't caught onto yet but it is the very same as status updates on either website. This allows you to keep to up with celebrities and other people who you may not be able to as easily with other providers.

Mr. Miller has a lot to handle coming into his position but with experience with MTV and Nickalodeon he should have no problems completely the task at hand. I am interested and excited to see what he may bring to the company and MySpace. I know for myself i never check my account anymore, I'm only on facebook because I got too burnt out on Myspace. Maybe Mr. Miller can bring back other people like myself who have wondered to other providers. However this may be a challenge for him as well seeing as how AOL has fallen dramatically with the increase in other providers. I remember only having an AOL account, and the annoying dial up that you had to wait for in order to get on the Internet. Now yahoo and google has skyrocketed with their email accounts and offerings. I am wondering if Myspace and other joint companies will have issues or decline with Mr. Miller in charge now. They need to come up with innovative ideas to keep up the times.
