ummm ... how about revenue?
Hehe. :)
Ads are actually enough for many of these feeder businesses (I've seen the figures from some of them, and I was very surprised), but with photos there's always the chance for photographers to have a store - download a high quality version, order a print etc.
This is a actually a content product that might not be able to employ ads - or if they do, it'll severely limit the number of publishers who'd use them. I haven't seen advertising and images combined (well) yet. Google images is useful - but do you think it makes money?
They will have to facilitate stores for photogs - that's a good idea, Pete - a smart way to do it may be to let the publishers not only have a role in marketing but also in merchandising - mashup style i.e. I offer the images on t-shirts - but you sell posters on your blog.
May be one to watch - not having the advertising option could force innovation - either way, this will be one that proves that even web 2 companies need a business plan - - or a gymae acquisition.
Maybe thats an angle they decided on taking.... a different demographic. or maybe they knew the system couldnt handle a huge amount of myspace users / bottleneck the service....

Why do all your comments get cut off? Are you using an odd character that Wordpress doesn't like?
We took your critique onboard and actually developed a widget that will display plinkme.com photos on myspace; see http://www.myspace.com/85209816
However, in their infinite wisdom, myspace has not disabled links from within flash widget that appear on their site.
Obama, the hero,
Hilary the 'go go,'
Coffee and cream,
Never, taste wonderful.
He lies, she criticized,
Noone know what is inside their minds.
The black loves him, the white loves her,
Oh bomber and hilary... quit agueing!
I don t write for those poets with the same name as me to steal,
The winding labyrinth, boiling and sticky,
Cream continued to ooze, a stagnant soggy soil;
I drag my bare feet,exhausted,
Struggle to go back to my yesterday's tomb.
My cellphone, cut off by infernal waves,
Unabling me to call Earth.
My pager's bsttery, dead,
I cannot recieive any memos.
Fiends of darkness, devils of winters,
Ravenous and thirsty; skin frozen and clammy,
A dream to devour my flesh and suck my blood,
A long to feel strong until they defeat God.
