Hewlett-Packard this week introduced “Shorty,” a smaller blade chassis looking to capture the attention of smaller companies in a similar way that the BladeCenter S aims to. It’s 10.5 inches high, fits eight blades and can plug into a standard 110-volt wall outlet. All in all, it’s a pretty good mini-BladeSystem.

Called the c3000, the chassis has its own MySpace page. Seriously. It must be a way to get “them kids” excited, right? The page lists as its hero the HP BladeSystem c7000 and has this to say in the About Me section:

I prefer working with smaller businesses like this over larger corporations because you feel like you’re taking the world by storm together, all while perched atop a Web 2.0 platform. It’s nothing short of electric.

The chassis also has diverse music tastes: Johnny Cash, Modest Mouse, and The Roots are all on the list. As of Friday afternoon, the page had seven friends (including Tom), most if not all of which are public relations people.

First of all, MySpace? Everyone knows MySpace is old, man. Facebook is where it’s at. And what’s next? Maybe the chassis will sign up for a Twitter account — “just got shipped out of the warehouse” and “user sliding blades in, and oooh, it feels so good” will be the requisite entries.
