It also allows the user to know that they are messaging the actual famous person, as there are many fake profiles set up by other users claiming to be these celebrities.
Famous people already registered with this new service include Ashton Kutcher, Britney Spears, Leonardo DiCaprio, Paris Hilton and Vince Vaughn. This helps the celebrities as they will then have control over their image as the many ‘fakers’ may not be portraying them as they should be.
Myspace already gives this opportunity to connect their users with their favourite musicians through myspace music.
With all these new extensions it appears as if Myspace is trying to broaden their horizons, they already have a political channel called Impact and a gaming portal in production.
This new service will be called Myspace Celebrity, and will offer the public a wide range of information about their favourite celebrities; such as daily blogs, behind the scenes footage, and various images supplied by Getty Images.
To me it seems as if Myspace is trying to expand and keep up with the ever growing and increasingly popular Facebook.
