MySpace News Break

Coming down the MySpace pipeline, Invaders, security, and a Big Faithless Treat. Since the invention of social networking sites, all extremes have co-existed and here is a brief taste of what's going on today.

Police Establish Profile Page 

The Miami-Dade Police Department has created its own MySpace page to discourage sexual predators who visit the popular social networking Web site, a press release said.

Homer On MySpace Ads 

News Corp. may soon allow its MySpace members to embed Fox TV shows and other Fox video on their homepages, marking a huge step toward generating greater ad revenue from the world's largest social-networking site, writes Business Week.

Faithless Arena Giveaway

A few lucky MySpace members are in for treat - Faithless will be giving them a special sneak preview of their forthcoming arena tour.

Grieving Teens on MySpace 

"These are places where people in many ways lived their lives online," says Amanda Lenhart, a senior researcher at the Pew Internet and American Life Project. "And what better way to grieve or mourn a person than in a space they created.''

Storing Images for MySpace

Finding good online image storage can be difficult, especially when the majority of sites jam ads down your throat. To help alleviate such stresses, Photobucket.com offers cheap solutions to an otherwise frustrating myspace image storage experience.

What you can do with an upgraded Photobucket account:

• Host Images for your MySpace layout
• Host Videos for your MySpace Profile
• Easily Generate Code to enter the images into your MySpace Profile
• Upload bulk photos, images, videos faster than any other service
• Gain access to HUGE storage potential
• much, much, more.

Yes, I have an upgraded account at Photobucket, do you? $25 per year is easy to stomach when I consider all the headaches I must endure to enjoy MySpace. Also, it doesn't hurt that you throw $10 my way for every person who signs up, which is appreciated.

Click on the banner above to get started, whether you upgrade or not. Don't feel like spending any scrilla, no problem, they offer a free service that is second to none as well.

Lastly, you have to check out their new beta program Flock, which is a browser add-on geared toward the MySpace user.

Upload tons of pics at once, drag and drop them into MySpace, and keep track of your friends pics - only with the Flock web browser! It's built on the same technology as Fire-fox, so you can feel safe knowing that it's secure and 100% spyware-free. Word.

Granted a beta program isn't for everyone, I enjoy testing out new products for companies, when I have access. If your the slightest bit computer savy, then a beta program such as Flock is for you. Don't forget, if you need help with anything, you can always contact me, David.
