In their latest foray at becoming the preferred Internet portal, MySpace has begun to cover the news. They will cut and paste headlines from outside news sites, web journals, and category searches. The service will allow its users to determine what other members see. Viewers will be allowed to select from categories or geographical areas of interest.

The beta test utilizes Newroo technology from MySpace’s parent company News Corp., which it purchased last year. News Corp. also owns the Fox Network, so I expect that MySpace users will get their fill of the latest ousting on “American Idol.”
