MySpace magazine to launch

Social networking giant MySpace may launch a magazine, according the Guardian.

Fans of what? Music? Blogging? Email? Having friends?

Is there enough of a common theme for MySpace to create a print magazine? With 100 million members it has a pretty diverse range of interests, tastes and increasingly a wide age range too from what I hear.

I guess what we’re actually talking about is a cheap way of "leveraging the brand" (cashing in, in layman’s terms). But unless it added to, reported on, or included member contributions in an interesting way in its pages it would be nothing more than a brand crossover / exploitation.

The venture would be with fashion magazine Nylon, if it went ahead.
