Pete,
Great post, I think for any startup targeting the community space you HAVE to have the flexability built in for badging your content on other sites.
The way most of us found YouTube, Photobucket, Imageshack, etc. was through looking at someone's profile on myspace.

This was a great post. One company that I have seen popping up on Myspace is "Vizu." I think you reviewed this company way back when. They remotely host custom built polls, free of charge no less. People are using it to ask their friends question like "who's hot?" or "rate my pictures" etc. Pretty interesting... I think people are starting to see the novelty of this service, and its ease of use.

Miles,
Yep, I noticed you've been building buzz through your MySpace page - seems like a smart move.

Brian,
Yep, there are already social network aggregators in development - I've even tested a few of them. See also Marc Canter's work on DLAs.

hey pete, you've hit the mark.
feeding the beasts is the way to go. as youtube fed the beast myspace in its early days, now youtube is itself THE video market place with a critical mass which cannot be reached anymore by its competitors. There are 40 competitors/clones and no one can and will overtake youtube.
so the key is to feed youtube (or myspace).
IMO you don't need sophisticated solutions/mashups to succeed: i.e. the mustseeblog.com feeds the beasts in a pretty simple way (it's just a blog) but gains more interests than the 40 youtube clones.

Really interesting post. It also seems to beg the question about extending these social networks into pure search. If these huge and established social networks can add a search component that contains primarily user-generated content organized by their communities and sub-communities, the possibility is there for these social networking sites to offer more traditional (and higher-performing) sponsored links as revenue generators in addition to what they are doing now. Since all the social networks know what sub-communities (areas of interest) that any particular user is participating in, sponsored links could be targeted by keyword and sub-community demographic. This could be an even more targeted method than we've seen before in online advertising and a path of additional revenue for these social networks.

A little late to the party....
You asked:
So tell me: how is your startup feeding the MySpace beast?
Well, it just a pet project to satisfy my own need to write some code every once in a while. I'm currently developing widgets and services to tie MySpace (any social network or site for that matter) and Stickam together. While neither are necessarily my personal favorites, I do see potential for their usefulness.
Having read your post on Stickam in the past, I know you aren't necessarily fond of them either. But, I do believe that a free video chat/streaming service can be messaged into a useful tool.
Example: A NPO can quickly start up a WordPress site to communicate to their supporters and staff. If they can easily integrate a video chat room, it could be invaluable for them to conduct virtual meetings or training with off-site volunteers and employees.
That is just an example and obviously there are more technical issues, but it is worth a look.

Geatly illuminating post . I think a whole new Industry has begun to crop up alongsdie myspace. This typically happens in a manufacturing Industry where one auto major comes up and builds a manufacturing base , the subsidiary and the accessory industry comes and feeds them . Its amazing how Myspace has turned and activated a whole new value additions. Nothing more exemplifies the rise of web2.0. I just noticed 123greetings.com has started feeding Myspace my adding a small icon next to its images .Check out http://www.123greetings.com/birthday/wishes / . Myspace has certainly played a key role in integrating web1.0 and web2.0

Mashable, I believe you can. I think it starts with email. You need something that everyone wants to forward to a friend. Something that touches the masses and spreads quickly by word of mouth. www.bouncecheap.com Something like a celebrity knockoff video toon. Of course you need to be a great at graphic design. I had a friend do it for a company and the thing sent traffic back to their site for months. Just a thought.

I was in many Festivals in Africa: The Masa Festival( Market for African Performing Arts 2003 in Ivory Coast, The South African National Arts Festival Grahamstown Festival in Eastern Cape, The Somerset East Biltong Castle Larger FestivaL, The Innibos Festival in Nelspruit Mpumanlanga, The Gariep Kunstefees in Kimberley, The Hermanus Whales Festival in Hermanus, The Simonstown Peguin Festival, The Stellenbosch Muisic Festival, The Rittelfees Music Festival in Vredendal and many more festivals in South Africa.

just call... Cellphone: 0737507923 Email: eggmanfestival@gmail.com Cellphone: 0737507923 A walking work of art, Gregory Da Silva is more than an odd spectacle - he is a symbol of Africa's many diverse cultures... A Symbol of African Unity
In the first heady years of the African Union, the world's eyes are increasingly turned to the continent from which humankind first appeared. Beneath the seemingly impenetrable mask of violence portrayed in popular media, lies a living and thriving cultural climate which Des Warde finds well depicted by West African street artist Gregory Da Silva.
The outfit always turns heads, and each day it boasts a new feature, a new symbol of an African culture or practice.
His headdress weighs up to twenty five kilograms, his body is armoured with artifacts and his face painted with tribal patterns and an undying smile. Each day, Gregory Da Silva presents the city centre with a new display of his symbolic art.
Gregory's voice is lively and he repeatedly offers phrases and words in French. Born in Benin, West Africa, 1979, he was trained in computer science at university, but went on to found a theatre group in Benin called 'Voice of Spirit' or 'Voix de l'Esprit' which performed politically motivated as well as comic and poetic theatre at the Benin National Library.
After receiving an invitation to perform at the MASA - Market for African Performing Arts - Festival in the Ivory Coast in 2003, where he represented his country, Benin, for a week before flying to South Africa. He sold his creations at the V&A Waterfront and began to grace the streets of Cape Town with his unique form of art. It was so unique it initially led the bemused Cape Town police to put him in the back of their car and call their superiors for advice! Naturally they were advised them to let him go and Gregory now enjoys a good relationship with the city authorities...
My attention is soon turned to his artifact-laden tunic which Gregory says is about "all African tradition, all African culture[s]" and he goes on to explain some of the more prominent objects displayed.
"Everything must be life, everything must shine, and be positive"
First, he points out the clusters of sea shells hanging around his neck, saying that in Africa these shells were "old money" and once used as currency. He explains the eggs on his head dress as being symbolic of life and says "everything must be life, everything must shine, [and] be positive". Next his hands grab the arcane black bottle near his waist to explain that in his culture, the Sangoma people would place "good spirits" in a bottle, with which they would "heal sick people [they] passed while walking on the roads".
The broken shards of mirror found on his chest bear similar spiritual significance, and are often worn by Voodoo people in Africa and are said to be a kind of window into the spiritual world, and a "way to talk to [their] ancestor[s]".
Gregory says his main inspiration or motivation is to "make people laugh" and "make people happy" and to represent different African cultures. He says he always thinks "how we can put all of Africa together to make [it] one", adding that "not one country can be forgotten".
When he is travelling in Africa, be it in Senegal, Cameroon, Mali or the Congo, the local people invariably look at him and say "ahh, that is our culture" as they see something of their own represented. "All Africa is in my clothes" he says, drawing attention again to his peerless suit.
When not walking St. Georges Mall or Green Market Square, Gregory features at the Grahamstown festival, the Hermanus Whale Festival, has been hired to receive guests at hotels and airports, and has also appeared on SABC 2 and E-TV News.
He is very popular with tourists, especially those from Italy, England, America and Germany, who frequently ask why he does not come over and do his thing in their own country. But he says his focus is on Africa. Pictures of him certainly do get back to their countries though, as Gregory says everyday "hundreds" of pictures are taken of himself, usually posing with the tourists.
Asked about his dreams and ambitions, Gregory (or the "Egg Man" or "Ei man" as he is also known) says that this year he is planning on starting an art school, which is part of his 'Project For Africa' for this year. He wants to impart creative knowledge to South African youth, giving them the power to create beautiful things and also to support themselves, all part of his ultimate venerable ambition to "[bring] Africa together to make one".
Indeed, and good luck to him.

Xanga skins combine CSS, HTML and Xanga’s own language to completely customize your Xanga - however, this feature is only available to Premium users. Xanga layouts, meanwhile, allow you to cut and paste “layout codes” into your page. Because of this flexibility, Xanga also supports the hundreds of Flash widgets that are being created for social networks (see Feeding the MySpace Beast).

He sold his creations at the V&A Waterfront and began to grace the streets of Cape Town with his unique form of art. It was so unique it initially led the bemused Cape Town police to put him in the back of their car and call their superiors for advice! Naturally they were advised them to let him go and Gregory now enjoys a good relationship with the city authorities...
My attention is soon turned to his artifact-laden tunic which Gregory says is about "all African tradition, all African culture[s]" and he goes on to explain some of the more prominent objects displayed.
"Everything must be life,
everything must shine, and be positive"
First, he points out the clusters of sea shells hanging around his neck, saying that in Africa these shells were "old money" and once used as currency. He explains the eggs on his head dress as being symbolic of life and says "everything must be life, everything must shine, [and] be positive". Next his hands grab the arcane black bottle near his waist to explain that in his culture, the Sangoma people would place "good spirits" in a bottle, with which they would "heal sick people [they] passed while walking on the roads".
The broken shards of mirror found on his chest bear similar spiritual significance, and are often worn by Voodoo people in Africa and are said to be a kind of window into the spiritual world, and a "way to talk to [their] ancestor[s]".
Gregory says his main inspiration or motivation is to "make people laugh" and "make people happy" and to represent different African cultures. He says he always thinks "how we can put all of Africa together to make [it] one", adding that "not one country can be forgotten".
When he is travelling in Africa, be it in Senegal, Cameroon, Mali or the Congo, the local people invariably look at him and say "ahh, that is our culture" as they see something of their own represented. "All Africa is in my clothes" he says, drawing attention again to his peerless suit.
When not walking St. Georges Mall or Green Market Square, Gregory features at the Grahamstown festival, the Hermanus Whale Festival, has been hired to receive guests at hotels and airports, and has also appeared on SABC 2 and E-TV News.
He is very popular with tourists, especially those from Italy, England, America and Germany, who frequently ask why he does not come over and do his thing in their own country. But he says his focus is on Africa. Pictures of him certainly do get back to their countries though, as Gregory says everyday "hundreds" of pictures are taken of himself, usually posing with the tourists.
Asked about his dreams and ambitions, Gregory (or the "Egg Man" or "Ei man" as he is also known) says that this year he is planning on starting an art school, which is part of his 'Project For Africa' for this year. He wants to impart creative knowledge to South African youth, giving them the power to create beautiful things and also to support themselves, all part of his ultimate venerable ambition to "[bring] Africa together to make one".
Indeed, and good luck to him.

Yep, there are already social network aggregators in development - I've even tested a few of them. See also Marc Canter's work on DLAs.
