Cynopsis: DIGITAL 10/28/10 Good morning, it’s Thursday, October 28, 2010, and this is your first early morning digital briefing. If you would like to read this or any other Cynopsis edition online, click here. The FTC closed the book on its probe of Google’s Street View mapping and data collection program. A letter from Commission director of Consumer Protection David Vladeck expresses satisfaction with Google”s explanation that it had no idea it was collecting and storing personal information and did nothing with it. Consumer groups such as Consumer Watchdog, which has been careful to point out the increasing amount of political donations Google has been making, called foul, saying that the country is entitled to a full probe into such abuses. ~ MULTIPLATFORM CONTENT NEWS ~

Fox Interactive’s MySpace, once the big kid on the block in social networking, received a major facelift geared toward the Gen Y users (the 13-35 crowd) that borrows tools and features from rivals such as Facebook, Twitter and foursquare. The new site is organized around youth-oriented multiplatform content covering music, movies, TV, games and celeb culture; each time a user logs on, algorithms will surmise their interest to populate their start-up page with content targeted to their tastes. One of the cooler features is a customizable user interface: you can choose between a traditional List view, a magazine-style grid view or a video-centric Play view that enables you to easily create your own videos and send them to your friends. MySpace partners such as MTV, Village Voice, Access Hollywood and Tribune’s LA Times will provide news and blog content while Content Hubs will be built by studios, sports franchises and bands as destination profiles. MySpace hopes engagement will improve with new features such as trending topics, discovery tabs that reveal what your friends are watching and foursquare-style badges that reward fans for their loyalty. It’s probably too late in the game for MySpace to reclaim its elite status, but trying to carve out a niche around social entertainment makes sense given its parent company’s core business.
