- Facebook opens up: The Feed's the thing
- Apple confirms MySpace ban in retail stores
- News Corp.'s Intermix buy gets antitrust OK
Notes: this video isn't real promotional material for Facebook. The music comes courtesy of Scott Olson. Poker is Veronica Belmont.
Following Facebook's launch of its application platform last week, we decided it was high time to explore the delicate balance that exists between it and social-networking juggernaut MySpace. And what better way to compare and contrast than a Get a Mac parody video? Sure, at this point it's about as passe as those Mastercard commercials, but somehow seeing our own Tim Moynihan dressed up like he got in fisticuffs with a lost-and-found bin makes it all worthwhile.
