We get some amusement out of the inaccurate but catchy “Myspace for the Workplace” label that the media likes to apply.

With that in mind, we found the Daily Show Trendspotting segment on Myspace especially amusing.

Our friends at Snapvine are in the news:

Snapvine, which this week unveiled an application that allows individuals to post personalized voice comments to their MySpace pages, recently scored more than $2 million in venture funding from Draper Fisher Jurvetson, an early investor in Skype, and First Round Capital, the venture fund of Half.com founder Josh Kopelman. Russell Siegelman, a former Microsoft Corp. executive and a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, also is an individual investor and board member.

“It is adding voice to social networking,” explains Siegelman, who was attracted to Snapvine’s team of engineers. “I just think there are a lot of untapped innovations yet to come that integrate the Web and voice.”

Snapvine has attracted some top-notch talent, including Curtis Vredenburg, one of the first employees at Ask Jeeves, and Rob Frederick, who previously led Amazon.com’s Web services group. The six-person company, which has been keeping a low profile for the past few months, just moved into new office space in Belltown.
