Things Are Quiet At MySpace News

TechCrunch's Michael Arrington writes:

When the largest site on the Internet announced their new MySpace News service, people expected it to get at least some traction, quickly. But a month later, as former TechCrunch writer Marshall Kirkpatrick noted in Twitter today, the site appears to be nothing more than a ghost town.

...the front page of MySpace news shows most stories with zero votes. Two stories have a single vote. None have more than that. Perusing through the various categories shows the same thing - page after page of stories with no votes or other evidence that anyone is visiting the site.

Well duh, most 14 year olds don't read much news.

Also, they haven't put a link to "News" on My Space pages yet. How do they expect to drive traffic?
