MySpace cleans up its act

MySpace, the fast-growing community website hugely popular with American teens, has removed 200,000 “objectionable” profiles from its site as it steps up efforts to calm fears about the safety of the network for young users.

Apparently these profiles were obscene or just "a little too edgy". MySpace is clearly moving to clean up it's act after some bad press recently around teen stalkers at the site.

But none of the press has affected MySpace negatively. They now have a massive 66M users (which is nearly as big as Ebay!!) and are signing up another 250,000 per day. Is anyone not a member of MySpace?

Murdoch must be beside himself. And it looks like his half a billion for the teen site was a snip at the price.
