MySpace occupies mobile space!

News Corp owned MySpace launched Monday a "free," mobile version of its Web site accessible to anyone with a standard Web-enabled cellphone.

The new site will work with all U.S. phone carriers and allow users to send and receive messages, comment on pictures, post bulletins, update blogs and request, find and search for friends.

Nothing is truly free, however: MySpace serves up ads to pay for the service. The new site loads two ads-one banner and one text snippet-for each visitor.

In coming months, the company-News Corp-also plans to offer a mobile version of Photobucket, its picture-sharing site, as well as mobile versions of FoxSports.com, gaming site IGN, AskMen and its local TV affiliates.
