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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;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).</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Double</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 02 May 2008 09:53:05 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
