Please keep us updated with consistent posts about your experience with MyAds. I think it is a killer idea and Myspace is an interesting platform for ads. Social networks have not been the best place for advertising, but now we have the opportunity to see user-generated ads.
What do you think about this ability to serve user-generated ads? Will it be big enough to move Myspace's revenue needle or will it be too small to register on the radar?

@Matt - Thanks, buddy. Glad to have you as a reader.
@Allan - Definitely. Facebook is already there. Time for MySpace to take a crack at it.

This is a nice move by myspace; but it continues to follow their stale old act of creating large amounts of revenue on the backs of members and their content.
myspace is easily worth at least a billion, and where is the value coming from other than members/the communities content and activities.
How much ad revenue is myspace sharing with members that generate ad revenue for them ? Are they giving anything back to the community that has put them where they are ?
I am technology consultant, and this summer I became so feed up with the share cropper mentality of sites like myspace that I decided to build an application that shares the wealth that is created with the community.
We also have a stand alone ad service and we have a granular micro revenue sharing service that allows members to share their revenue with Friends, Groups, or Causes.
And unlike myspace and the rest we will be releasing most of the service to the open source community because we know we are not the smartest guys in the room.
