The two new co presidents would not comment on the shake up, but said the revamp of the site now being introduced is in keeping with the strategy all three executives devised over the past 11 months, including the acquisition of Internet music sharing service iLike. Analysts say building on MySpace's strength in music and entertainment is a sensible strategy, though some wonder whether the company will be able to create a unique offering amid a raft of rivals with similar goals, from Yahoo, and music service Pandora to Facebook. They also warn that comebacks are rare in the Web business. "When you look at the other social networks that have faltered, they end up being a special play for a particular culture," said Jeremiah Owyang, a partner at Web consulting firm Altimeter Group.
