Have You Thought About MySpace?

July 15th, 2008 by Nick Gonzalez

For many of you, and even me, it seems like when we talk about social applications, we’re talking about the Facebook platform. Facebook has been around the longest and done a great job rolling out new features. However, MySpace is growing into a great complementary platform, with the added advantage that it’s an OpenSocial container. MySpace can currently monetize at the same rates as majority of Facebook inventory, as those with apps on both platforms already know.

Since cross development time is expensive for small groups of developers, we’ll be putting together some more resources on how to develop as well as user’s experiences over the next couple of months.

Moreover, as the web continues to “digest” social networking, there will be many more platforms where developers can create a living from applications. We’ll keep you posted.

I am not being paid the extra .20 per dollar generated in myspace. I addition, i am only being credited for less than 5% of hi5 apps clicks (it is showing clicks but giving $0.00 per click).

The additional .20 is not credited as earnings, but shows up as your application running run advertisements across other MySpace applications. I'll look into the Hi5 issue. Send me an email at nick at socialmedia.com.
