MySpace targets YouTube with MySpace TV
The New York Times reports that MySpace will launch a new video site tomorrow. Unlike MySpace's current video site, MySpace TV will be a standalone site allowing users to upload and share videos without a MySpace account.While MySpace is going head to head with YouTube in the user generated video space, the Fox News Corp-owned company is putting an emphasis on professional video. You can already watch Fox television programs through MySpace, and the site recently launched its "Minisode Network" with Sony, showcasing classic TV shows like Silver Spoons, Who's the Boss, and V.I.P. No, seriously.
MySpace plans to roll out an online video editing application later this year to compete with a similar service offered by YouTube.

Of course, 9 times out of 10 when you go to view a clip, there will be an apologetic note from "Tom" in the sidebar explaining wy the service isn't working. And about once a week, the interface will be branded (annoyingly) with a new upcoming film feature's graphics and flashing advertisements. And you won't actually be able to see the film clips, because they'll be overlaid with "punch the monkey" flash ads that are mispositioned in every browser under the sun.
Next week, you'll start hearing about how MySpace is being investigated by the feds for all of the porn videos that are being posted.
A week later, Time/Warner will apologize and hire 300,000 workers in a third world country to preview the film clips and determine which ones can be posted.
Besides, who uses MySpace these days besides porn spammers?
