MySpace is the biggest social network site in the world, while Bebo, which AOL is acquiring for $850 million, is the biggest in the U.K. Creative Commons is a nonprofit org that provides free tools allowing authors, scientists, artists and educators to retain copyright to their creative work but granting certain rights to the public.
Katz will focus on the global evolution of the social web and opportunities available to content creators, consumers and brands.
