A now defunct company that operated under the same name, Slingshot Labs was a media and business incubator owned by News Corp that was launched on February 13, 2008.[1] Slingshot was separate from News Corp's Fox Interactive Media, and its mission was to build and develop new Web ventures for the parent company.[2] The company planned to develop four to five ventures per year,[3] ranging from stand-alone web destinations to social media applications. It launched a celebrity gossip site Daily Fill,[4] which aggregates content from partner sites such as The New York Post's Page Six, Media Take Out, and Gossip Girls.

The incubator was founded by some of Myspace's founding members, Josh Berman Colin DiGiaro, and was headquartered in Santa Monica, California. It was operated by Josh Berman and Diego Berdakin prior to its shutdown in May, 2010.[5]
