Please tell the platform invites are not clone of facebook app invites! Cring shudder vomit.

Heya, I'm an outside developer who signed up for the MySpace Developer Platform sandbox phase, and I wanted to point out one or two things, here. First, comparing App installs between Facebook and MySpace can be misleading -- it's akin to saying that Microsoft is failing miserably because Internet Explorer 8.0, which is still in beta, doesn't have the marketshare of FireFox. It's simply a bad comparison. And of course there are several features missing still, along the lines of App Invites; because as one person commented, repeating Facebook's mistakes (and that's not a knock on Facebook - they've recognized the problems and are correcting them) is something everyone wants avoided. I also find it highly unlikely that Max Newbould would make a statement giving a date like that - Max posts regularly on the forums and appears in the chat, but he's very cautious never to say anything outside the scope of what he directly controls and knows about. I can't speak MySpace, Max, or anyone else on the team, but my impression here is that someone has picked up some bad information.

I work for myspace! I'm more then happy to answer questions about the release or what not...
I have to say that more then half of what you have posted is very inaccuate. But that's okay..
I agree with the poster above that it's hardly easy to compare beta to release, but this is a blog.
