Will MySpace be the Next Big Webmail Provider?

An internal message sent to all MySpace employees has further fanned rumors that MySpace is furtively developing a webmail service. The rumor first reared its head when it was discovered that few MySpace employees’ corporate email addresses had been moved to MySpace-inc.com from MySpace.com.
The only plausible explanation the tech intelligentsia could muster was that MySpace may be making the change to free the popular MySpace.com domain for a webmail service.
An internal message sent to all MySpace employees, notifying them about the company-wide reassignment of corporate emails, has advanced this theory. “MySpace is migrating from the login@myspace.com to login@myspace-inc.com,” MySpace’s parent company Fox Interactive Media announced in the internal email.
If MySpace does roll out a webmail service, it will become the third largest provider from the off. This is because all MySpace users – around 125 million of them - will be assigned an email address by default.

Are you sure you meant to say "furtive"? That sure seems like an odd use of the word. "furiously developing a webmail service" would make more sense. But "furtively developing a webmail service" just sounds weird.

Myspace sucks at what it is primarily used for anyway, why would they go with two shitty services instead of one mediocre one?

And who would give myspace there email? That is an invitation for spam.
