Ross Levinsohn, president of Fox Interactive Media, is speaking to a good-size crowd at the Mandalay Convention Center. A lot of table setting to start — how News Corp. reinvigorated its interactive business, spent nearly $2 billion, built audience up to 62 million users, etc.
Some highlights:

Is this not a wee bit of a case of putting the cart before the horse? At least half of the time that I try to log into MySpace the servers are so overloaded that one can’t get on, the other half of the time the experience is very slow.
One would think that Rupert Murdoch’s folk could buy a few more servers and a bit more bandwidth before trying to add on mobile.
