This is just one more reason (and a very good one) why facebook is devastating to myspace users. Open source and freedom is the way to go. If an app is good, people will use it and share it.. If it sucks, then they won't. Why can't myspace grab onto this concept that people love freedom to do what they want?

Great write up.

In response to the first comment – that’s ridiculous. Having 50k-100k to spend on marketing does not make you legitimate, or useful, it makes you a sucker. And viral/engaging apps are not at all necessarily spammy. Useful apps – like any product, ever – do float above the crap-apps over the course of time and set themselves apart; they do this by maintaining a high standard of quality, usefulness, and respect for their users.

What I find to be most important about this is that MySpace promised – like facebook has promised – an even playing field for developers. Facebook has delivered, myspace has not (I’m getting used to hearing that).
