    To be fair, when I asked Jason Hirschhorn, chief product officer of MySpace, for a quick interview, he said he didn’t want to talk about MySpace. “That’s cool,” I said. And then I turned on the camera and asked him questions about MySpace. Not surprisingly, he dodged them.

    But he did talk about his favorite companies so far at TechCrunch50. We should note that while both Hirshhorn and Ron Conway noted Story Something as a favorite company of the day, neither could remember the company’s name. That may be a problem.

    (Note also half-way through the video when Conway wanders over. He clearly can’t wait to give Jason that list of potential MySpace acquisitions…)
