MySpace India Launches
As it strives to fend off rival Facebook, MySpace has finally launched its Indian Avtaar, just a couple of days after launching its South Korea version. MySpace first went international by moving into Europe in 2006 and now has websites serving 25 countries including France, Russia, Australia and Japan.
MySpace and its roster of approximately 110 million users still dominates the US market but fresh data from industry-tracker comScore indicates Facebook is closing the gap with MySpace when it comes to international visitors.
The formal launch of the website will be celebrated on April 17, with a concert in Mumbai headlining rock bands Pentagram, Super Fuzz, and Them Clones, followed by an event in Bangalore on April 21 for local software developers.
