While not surprising, it still sucks to see that many people fired. Then again, after being bought for $35M in cash and postage stamps, the company is lucky to be able to keep even half its staff.

Social network MySpace has laid off more than half its staff of roughly 450 as part of its sale by News Corp. to Specific Media, The Wall Street Journal reported today. The cuts follow a massive 47 percent staff reduction in January across all divisions that impacted about 500 workers. Now a shadow of its former self, the company had some 1,400 staff two years ago.

Sucks that people got fired but I hate Myspace so I won't cry too hard.
 
Did anyone ever see a MyUglySpace page that wasn't completely visually broken? They were all as if someone took a normal webpage, run it through a woodchipper and vomited the results (audio included) onto the internet.
 
Lets hope that Justin Timberlake will focus his attentions on running myspace further into the ground and not on making shite music and shite movies.

Yeah it was basically like being transported back in time to those old Geocities/Angelfire/etc sites.
