Ex-MySpace boss Brad Greenspan possibly robbed by Hollywood Hills cat burglar
The Hollywood Hills home of MySpace quasi-cofounder and acquisitive LiveUniverse CEO Brad Greenspan was broken into over the weekend, and authorities think it could be the work of a cat burglar who has preyed on the wealthy, including the likes of Charlize Theron and Faith Hill, and their hillside hideaways. Looks like everybody's MySpace friend, Tom Anderson, made the right move by choosing Santa Monica.

LiveUniverse execs "out of touch," engineers leaving
LiveUniverse, the often acquisitive company founded by tetchy former MySpacer Brad Greenspan, is bleeding engineers. That's according to one LiveVideo codemonkey who's begun applying for work at the company's competitors. Why? Because executives, like Greenspan, are "out of touch with the employees, the industry, and the company itself." The straying underling was especially concerned about being outed, because apparently said executives are regular readers of Valleywag. Hey guys! How about getting in touch with your employees by reading the lament of one geek for hire who's formulating their own exit strategy. More »

Video startup Revver sells to unpredictable ex-MySpace boss
Last we heard, Revver, the YouTube wannabe which promised a cut of revenues to video creators, was on the ropes. LiveUniverse, the Internet vehicle of former MySpace boss Brad Greenspan, had walked away from a deal, reports had it. That left Revver grasping for a lifeline and willing to sell itself for as little as $1.5 million. Now, NewTeeVee tells us LiveUniverse has bought Revver for less than $5 million. More »

Brad Greenspan buying Revver?
If at first you don't succeed, buy someone who hasn't succeeded, either. Such seems to be the motive behind obstreperous entrpreneur Brad Greenspan's rumored purchase of Revver, a second-tier video portal. Greenspan, the former CEO of MySpace parent Intermix Media, who bears a grudge over the social network's sale to News Corp., now runs LiveUniverse. Haven't heard of LiveVideo, LiveUniverse's leading property? Exactly. Revver, notable mostly for being more generous with sharing what little revenue it garners with video creators, would not do much to help Greenspan's lack of renown.

Credit where credit's undue
Facebook isn't the only social network over whom people are scrapping for credit as founders. Brad Greenspan, the former CEO of MySpace parent Intermix Media, disputes Brett Brewer's claim to having founded MySpace. What's more amazing is that the founder-status mention appeared offhandedly in a TechCrunch company profile — but Greenspan nonetheless found it, and left a comment. One wonders — does Greenspan have Google News set to email him an alert whenever someone uses the words "MySpace" and "founder"? At any rate, Valleywag's reinvention of the old saying remains true: success has many founders.
