Myspace TV?

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 12:13:23 -0500

MySpace plans to launch an overhaul to its MySpace Video service tomorrow, complete with a new name, MySpace TV and separate URL. MySpace is currently the number two video host in the U.S, trailing YouTube by about 8 million viewers a month.

According to the New York Times, the new MySpace TV will be available at a separate domain so that those without a MySpace account can still access video from the site’s users.

However MySpace TV is also said to be moving away from user generated content to focus more on professionally created content. For all the hype surrounding user-generated content, it’s still the professional clips that bring in the advertising dollars.

MySpace TV is not just a name though, the Times says that each MySpace member page will “link to a separate MySpace TV channel, which will display the videos the user has uploaded.”

As with the rest of MySpace, users will be able to unleash their hideous design choices on the web at large — customizing the page as it’s known in the trade.

MySpace also plans to launch an online video editing service later this year to compete with YouTube’s Remixer offering.

Myspace Music Codes

I recently read an article which was pretty much another Myspace vs Facebook article angle. While it was pretty much the same garbage thats been re-hased about these two sites one thing did catch my attention. It was talking about how Facebook has a cleaner approach then myspace, and zoned right in on how myspace lets you add just about anything to your 'profile'. Then they went into the whole music codes on myspace, and how you go to someones myspace page and suddenly you are slammed with random videos playing and all kinds of music and other crap.

Myspace Exposes Videos Stored In Private Profiles

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 16:58:04 -0500

Yet another simple URL modification makes private profile information available
Two very simple methods that allowed anyone to view comments and photos stored in private Myspace profiles. These security holes were available by a simple modification of the URL used to access Myspace. The story of these security holes were posted on digg.com, and very quickly spread across the Internet. Once public, Myspace reacted swiftly and closed these two holes within 24 hours. But as soon as those security breaches were addressed by Myspace, more were popping up, and being closed by Myspace, like a lame game of whack-a-mole.

Attention Artists and bands on myspace

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 11:32:18 -0500

You may have read my past entry about how 'Bands dont manage their myspace pages', and either it was a new look for fans of Artists or hit home for the Artist Readers. While its understandable in that many artists, especially those touring, just dont have time to manage their websites or myspace profiles.

So, ARTISTS, I propose you let someone who knows what they are doing HELP! I propose you let ME manage your myspace profile, and maybe even take you to a better place online with your website as well!

Interested? Comment here and I will be in touch!
