Myspace confirms developer platform

Myspace moves closer to Facebook style



Excerpt from Read/WriteWeb
MySpace confirmed they will launch a developer platform in the "near term". DeWolfe and Murdoch cited the "original openness and personalization of the MySpace community" as being integral to MySpace's success to date. They also noted that MySpace helped develop the widget eco-system. During the discussion, DeWolfe seemed a little cagey about the concept of openness, but (under pressure from the mighty Marc Canter's questioning) admitted that it is "largely a good thing for users." In the end DeWolfe caved to Canter's persistent questions and said that yes they'll open up! But of course it remains to be seen whether they will, truly.


Amazing how opening up for developers spawns success. This is something that all web service creators need to take a look at. It has worked wonderfully for Facebook and I'm sure that it won't hurt Myspace. Unless Myspace finds it necessary to severely limit users ability to customize their profiles (Facebook blue's) If Myspace follows Facebook in this limitation, then they might as well close down.

Google makes video ads available


Google anounced today that they are making video adsense available to it's publishers (bloggers). This is an interesting way to add monetized content to your blogsite. Not sure if it has been done for us smaller bloggers yet but I am positive I have seen video ads out there for major traffic sites.

Here is what Google said on the Adsense blog...
AdSense isn't just for ads anymore; it's also a place to get video content for your site -- and earn extra revenue at the same time.

We're excited about the launch of video units -- a new way to enrich your site with quality, relevant video content in an embedded, customizable player. Simply embed a snippet of code and have relevant YouTube partner content streamed to your site. You can choose categories of video to target to your site, select content from individual YouTube partners, or have video automatically targeted to your site content. Companion and text overlay ads are relevant and non-intrusive. To further blend the YouTube player into your site, you can also customize the color scheme and layout as well as choose from three different player sizes.
