Vodafone teams with MySpace to create online global interactive social networking platform

by: Bena Roberts Monday, June 30th, 2008

Vodafone, the world’s largest mobile community and MySpace, the world’s leading social network, today announced the launch of an online global interactive platform, “Vodafone Music Reporter“, which will expand Vodafone’s music activity and continue to deliver a unique music experience to Vodafone customers. The “Vodafone Music Reporter“….

…interactive profile, hosted on MySpace, builds on the successful collaboration of both companies which began in 2007 with the launch of MySpace on Vodafone mobile internet.

Vodafone will use the profile to share its existing music initiatives, including summer festivals such as Music Unlimited Cologne in Germany and Vodafone TBAs in the UK. The “Vodafone Music Reporter” profile will also feature user generated content to help create communities for all music fans initially in Germany, Spain and the UK with Italy to follow in the next few days.

Music fans in the four countries can click on www.myspace.com/vodafonemusicreporter_uk (_it in Italy, _es in Spain and _de in Germany) and start sharing their music experiences, upload and download content including pictures and videos related to Vodafone Music Unlimited events. Members of the “Vodafone Music Reporter”
community will be able to interact with their fellow users through a blog featuring regular updates on Vodafone Music Unlimited activities.

What we think?
vodafone the world’s largest mobile community! OMG. Choke. When did that happen? I thought it was an operator. No then I thought it was the owner of the biggest mobile portal flop of all time (Vodafone live!). Then made the biggest partnership error of all time by going with Google for mobile search.

Yikes. I think I could go on - but to try and stay focused. This is a new service with MySpace for music services. MySpace will host it and Vodafone Music Reporter competition will be born. Isn’t this what Virgin did with the V Festival and Bites years ago?
