Here's a not so unexpected development in the world of online media. MySpace has parted ways with yet another senior employee. Heidi Browning, SVP of insights and planning at MySpace, just announced her resignation. Other recent disappearing acts include SVP of product management Tom Andrus; MySpace international head head Travis Katz; MySpace Music SVP of strategy and global marketing Jamie Kantrowitz; and President of Fox Digital Media Dan Fawcet. Working closely with MySpace ad sales boss Jeff Berman, Browning's responsibilities included working "hand-in-hand" with agencies and brands advertising on the social network.

Imagine a world where exclamation points and "cap screaming" is obsolete. Well, Microsoft's hardware division is testing pressure-sensitive keyboards to make that a reality. While it looks like a normal board, each key can register up to eight levels of pressure, opening up a world of emotional possibilities. Flame wars will never be the same.

The Times Co. chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. is promising to be picky about who he decides to sell The Boston Globe to. "Price is not the only consideration," he tells none other the Globe. He also hints that the new owners might have to promise they won't fire everybody.

It looks like Rupert Murdoch plans to use the UK's Sunday Times as a guinea pig for his drastic new strategy -- announced Thursday -- to charge fees for access to every piece of content he controls online. The newspaper's site will be launched as a standalone, Sundaytimes.co.uk, by the end of November. Whether News International, the subsidiary that controls Murdoch's stable of British papers, will introduce a subscription model or charge for each visit is still unclear.

Turns out Google chief executive Eric Schmidt served on Apple's board for free -- almost. What's more, Schmidt -- who stepped down from Apple's board earlier this month -- doesn't seem to like money much at all. His Google salary is $1 a year, and he hasn't accepted stock options for the past several years.

Facebook is developing an app for Google's mobile operating system Android, and there are screenshots to prove it. With apps on the iPhone and the BlackBerry, Facebook currently claims about 30 million monthly mobile users, and while there aren't any Google Android devices presently as popular, that all could change very quickly.

It doesn't take a genius to see that the Web is becoming increasingly consensus driven, and while Digg isn't the first company to allow its users to vote on ads, it's probably going to do it better -- and encourage far more user participation -- than any other site. Why? Simply because Digg has community voting baked into its DNA.

Thomson Reuters president Chris Ahearn is telling to Associated Press "stop whining" about people and publications and news aggregators stealing its content. A better approach, he says, is to have a general agreement among community members to treat others' content, business and ideas with the same respect you would want them to treat yours.

What exactly is the Google brand worth? $100 billion And, while the idea of brand value is a bit silly seeing as how the brand in the hands of any company other than Google would rapidly depreciate its value, it makes some sense in relative terms. Microsoft's brand, for one, is only worth $76 billion, while the Coca-Cola brand is worth a mere $67 billion.

Robert Scoble doesn't want to be your friend. Well, perhaps that's a bit extreme, but after "unfollowing" over 100,000 people on Twitter, he's so happy with results that he's "doing a rethink" of his entire "following behavior" on other social systems.
