MiSpacio? MySpace Latin America Beta Launches

Today during the Billboard Latin American Music Conference, Travis Katz,
senior vice president and general manager of MySpace International,
announced the beta launch of MySpace en Español, a new
Spanish-language version for U.S. based Hispanics. MySpace also
revealed a new pan-regional site in Spanish for Latin American
residents as well as further development plans for localized
communities in Mexico and Brazil.

"We're moving rapidly to build communities that reflect and respect
the lifestyles of our diverse members," said Katz, "MySpace en
Español opens the community even wider, giving our Hispanic members
the choice to share their experiences, connect with family members,
and plan their social lives in either Spanish or English. We look
forward to getting their feedback as we build out these new cultural
communities."

At the conference MySpace was all the buzz. From marketers and artists,
to journalists and music label executives, there wasn't a single panel
discussion that didn't mention how this social networking site has
changed the entertainment and marketing industry forever.
