Latino MySpace! whoo hoo!


I don't really have a great use for a MySpace, Latino style, because I am the whitest girl around, but I know many people that will LOVE this new addition.  Latino, everything, has been a growing trend in the past little while with special television stations, radio stations, rising popularity in music, etc. It is not really that surprising since Latinos and Latino Americans make up such a large percentage of our population. 

Although the MediaWeek article is short, we do get some necessary info from it, including that "among the site's initial media partners are ImpreMedia, Spanish Broadcasting System, Billboard en Espanol and Remezcla.com."  Although some test runs have been out for awhile this is the official launching of MySpace Latino- which by definition is "a bilingual version of its mega-popular social networking hub geared for U.S. Hispanics. 

The site features a variety of Hispanic-aimed content that will benefit anyone from music lovers to sports fans.  This popular social networking is designed specifically for Latino Americans.  MySpace already has 9.7 million Hispanic members but now those members can also choose to become a part of this extended edition.
