"Today, the world is connected by a network. Blogs, group or individual websites are no longer the signs of a new era, but are an established reality for a whole new generation. As a large brand we must be able to communicate to this new generation of adepts of the digital world -- the MySpace community makes that possible."

Travis Katz, managing director of international for MySpace, said: "Cartier's international campaign is a great representation of how an international brand can create relevant and local experiences seamlessly with the power of MySpace."
