Breakfast briefing: Dark days as MySpace suffers a total eclipse

• As if things weren’t bad enough for MySpace - with the slumping traffic and threat of office closures we reported last week - the news just got a little worse. Techcrunch reports figures from ComScore suggesting that Facebook has now overtaken its competitor in the home US market, one of the few places that MySpace was still in the lead.

• Wired is currently running a ‘Disruptive by Design’ conference in New York with a few technology heavyweights in attendance: including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Useful notes from Tim O’Reilly, quoting Bezos saying “People over-focus on errors of commission… the big cost that most companies incur are much harder to notice, and those are errors of omission”.

• And finally, if all that’s a bit heavy, then you might get a smile from this Improv Anywhere MP3 experiment. Goes on a bit long, but it’s great for some of that warm fuzzy feeling.
