USA TODAY is running a piece about brands trying to recreate the success of MySpace. Coca-Cola appears to be the most successful imitator to date.
More than 8 million people average five hours per month on the site, where they can write about their favorite bands, mix and share music, chat and upload short videos. They can post under “vegos” — pseudonyms, short for “virtual egos” — and rack up points to buy Coke products.
About David BurnI wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17. She went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time. Starting in Portland in 1995, I worked my way across the country as a copywriter and eventually became a content director making media products for big packaged goods brands. I returned to Oregon in 2008, and now I focus on building brands for companies that matter, including this one.
