Ditto to Don¡¯s point. I¡¯ve seen betas that run better than MySpace. Some feature is constantly down, and I can¡¯t tell you how many times MySpace has ¡°eaten¡± a blog post or comment I¡¯ve tried to send. Acceptable in a startup service, but now that it¡¯s owned by a company with the ability but refusal to invest in necessary improvements, it¡¯s VERY frustrating. It¡¯s like Fox wants to squeeze every dime out of MySpace without having to invest in the necessary tech development. Not to mention its inability to patrol spam profiles, event invitations, friend requests, etc. It is inexplicably difficult to do things as basic as making a ¡°friends¡± list to limit blog entries to, etc.
The widgets, on the other hand, are one of the redeeming features in MySpace. When MySpace core functions won¡¯t work, the widgets usually do, and are especially handy when they allow MySpace users to share content they wouldn¡¯t be able to with MySpace tools alone. I don¡¯t understand (and yet, of course, the cynical side of me does) why a website majority-owned by one of the most lucrative media companies in the world could be so poorly designed and executed.
The other thing about MySpace is that in the world of social networking, there is a loss of control over content, which includes the little widgets users choose to install. I don¡¯t know why MySpace is cracking down on widgets so much¡ seems like an inevitability in the social networking business. And it all would be very, very different if MySpace¡¯s core functionality actually worked. If a MySpace user reports a technical issue, it goes into a black hole and nobody ever hears from the tech team.
In short, if MySpace put as much effort into making sure its basic tools worked as it does into banning widgets, it would be far better off.
Mike I just wrote something very similar on my blog this morning actually, talking about the myspace ecosystem.
When I was running Music Video Codes and Yashi, one of my biggest fears was the incredible dependency I had on MySpace and their ability to simply block my services at any given time.
I think what we see happening now is what FIM was explaining at the First Round Capital CEO summit in January. Its the ¡°friend or foe¡± argument that my partner Aaron Cohen and I had with their executives that spoke at the summit during their Q&A with the crowd¡
It appears MySpace has realized or as they would see it, learned their lesson from allowing widgets to grow and directly compete as large destination sites, such as YouTube. What is strange to me is why they would attempt to repress their ecosystem since its the same ecosystem of widgets that enhances the user experience on their website to begin with. Its a very fine line and difficult to decide which widgets really pose a threat to their business, and which do not.
I believe there are currently two fundamental rules they are living by at MySpace. 1.) No monetization on their pages and 2.) No communication products that can grow into a destination site.
Even though I understand the above rules, it would still be more logical to me if there was evidence that these widgets were stunting their growth at MySpace, which clearly is not the case.
It should be interesting to see how this unfolds now that MySpace is planned to launch their own widget development product serice for independent developers to build widgets for them.
MySpace is crossing over to the dark side and leaving us behind in the republic¡ who will take over in the new world?
Myspace blocked vidilife for copyright violations. Universal music is suing myspace and named vidilife in the complaint. Has nothing to do with Brad Greenspan, or they¡¯d block his other site livevideo. Imeem is being blocked for its music playlists.. imeem encourages users (not artists) to upload their songs and share them online, which is illegal.
imeem isn¡¯t blocked at the moment anymore. woopie! I think I¡¯m going to put a playlist on and just add songs to the playlist to prevent changing codes each time I want a new song just in case¡
I still don¡¯t get it. Myspace gets more attention when widgets like imeem and others are used on their website. It attracts more users because then they can customize their profile with a variety of more songs. If you use myspace¡¯s music player you only have one song while with imeem you can have a playlist of your favorite songs. Myspace brags so much about its number of members but yet I guarantee every member gets more frustrated with every widget blocked. In reality myspace is afraid of the widgets because they get more attention. Imeem isn¡¯t needed on myspace to survive. They have a good user base and the reason people like it is because they can find virtually any song they want and listen to it however many times they want wich sounds good to me. Without widgets on your profile theres really no reason to get on it. They don¡¯t need each other but when they join up they achieve more. Imeem gets more attention and Myspace gets more users and were all happy. And if Imeem hasn¡¯t gotten a lawsuit for copyrights I think it¡¯s because they are doing something right
To add a song on your MySpace profile, please visit Myspace Music (http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music) and find a song you want to add. If the artist has given permission to share the music, you¡¯ll see an ¡°Add¡± link next to the song. Click ¡°Add¡± and the song will play on your profile! Only one song can be added to your profile at one time.
I think the MySpace users should be happy¡ Funny how they can take down the widgets but they haven¡¯t done anything about the ¡°MySpace Tracker Hackers¡± wtf total bs¡ I just want my playlist back on my page.. The music section does not have updated NEW music¡. Its really not fair¡
Now that I remember I tried to upload a video one time and I still think it¡¯s pending approval. It¡¯s been like months already. I still haven¡¯t gotten an e-mail about the imeem thing. But i agree with shaun, cha404 and crazy hoe 92. Myspace is really starting to piss me off. We should make our own better version of myspace lol I think i¡¯d be hot. Sides that¡¯s how myspace started a little backyard project.WHO¡¯S WITH ME lol
