Social networking site MySpace could be worth about $15 billion within three years, measured in terms of the value created for shareholders of parent company News Corp., a Wall Street media analyst forecast Wednesday.

Just to remind that MySpace was acquired by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. for $580 million just a year ago. Pretty good deal then, pretty good deal now.
RBC Capital justified the forecast on the basis of MySpace's "raw, unprecedented user/usage growth and they also added that it could be anything in-between $10B and $20B in the next years.
