Big changes may be afoot at MySpace. Although the info's far from being confirmed, a new report claims that CEO Chris DeWolfe - in addition to at least a couple other execs - is leaving the company on what could politely be called an involuntary basis.
Michael Arrington wrote last night, "[A] decision has already been made to terminate Chris DeWolfe's employment with MySpace. We've also been told that the core MySpace executive team will follow. . . . [O]ur guess is that it's the very senior team that will be terminated: cofounders Chris DeWolfe (CEO), Tom Anderson (President) and Aber Whitcomb (CTO)."
If true, this would seem to signal that News Corp has lost all patience with the current MySpace-Facebook situation and is ready to take things in some radical new directions. It's not every day that from-the-beginning leaders of established organizations get sacked, after all. And the change wouldn't just be some boardroom matter, since Tom Anderson is a component of about every MySpace user's profile.
