superiors at KQED outraged emails demanding that he be fired. Josh's posting
offers a painfully vivid account of how hard it can be to attempt to
communicate directly with a company that has chosen to make itself
unavailable to the public.
MySpace's meteoric rise is legendary, of course (it claims 70 million users
these days). The company is in the crosshairs of the online dece
