News Corporation's MySpace is believed to be rolling out its own webmail service tomorrow. According to paidContent.org, users will be given their own addresses “@myspace.com”.Apparently “a bunch of ex-Hotmail guys"are running the project out of Seattle. It is unclear whether the social networking site, which has 130m global members, will limit the webmail service to US users only.
We all know MySpace is losing ground, but is free webmail going to bring people back? It's not like there isn't plenty on offer already.Paidcontent.org also reports that Yahoo! is in late-stage talks to buy social e-mail startup Xoopit for about $20m.Looks like the web giant is also planning on announcing the deal tomorrow.
