My workflow makes me do that. I may be reading from 6 pages back, and plus my mind races sometimes. Stupid medication wears down at night... Now back on topic, why is everyone acting like Facebook is great, and all other networks suck? This is just like the iPhone's great, Nokia/RIM/Samsung/SE suck. Not making sense. Since when is 200 million users irrelevant? Its bigger than Twitter, people! Bigger than LinkedIn. Bigger than Orkut. Bigger than Beebo. And I'd like to see all of these supported, too.This attitude is how the iPhone and Facebook grew. We need choices. Or are you saying eff MySpace, go to Facebook? Coca Cola is the shizznit, but is Pepsi irrelevant!? BET is the bomb, but MTV is last year?! Toyota is a nonfactor now that they've been passed by Volkswagen/Audi/Porsche?! Of course not. Social networks are all important. Any that have hundreds of millions of users are important. Tunnel vision is stupid, stupid, stupid. There are a large portion of the world's citizens on social networks. Most aren't using Facebook. Keep that in mind. MySpace and Orkut are also big, and have a unique focus to keep them relevant. |
Re: Where's the MySpace support??
You forgot to mention Tumblr!
*Hopes that if she keeps mentioning Tumblr someone will get the idea...* |
Re: Where's the MySpace support??
How about a universal widget that supports all of the major social networks? Let it show a profile photo, status updates, inbox, friend requests, comments, friend list, media streams, and photos. We could start with Facebook and MySpace, the largest social networks in the world, and add Orkut and 51.com and others over time.
(And please don't say Orkut and 51 are irrelevant, too. Do the research and check the numbers first.) |
Re: Where's the MySpace support??
I give up on this one. I'm working with the MySpace developers on my own, now. Can't get the Maemo.org butts to move, so I'll go with the MySpace devs. They were immediately open to discuss this with me. Wish my own community was like that...

I'm all about Tumblr, too. My friend DaniB, one of the top photographers in Germany, is big on Tumblr, and I am too. Take my vote for Tumblr, too, Kathy.

Facebook is the place right now. It's the critical mass place to go and it has the most mindshare. That's why we're seeing Facebook having widgets out of the box on the N900. Hell, even the video ads for the N810 talked about Facebook (and ignored Myspace). As I've told you several times before... if you want Myspace, round up some Maemo developers who are also interested in making stuff for it. Become a focal point to push what you want forward instead of complaining like Maemo developers owe you something. Be the change you want to see. All the graphs in the world aren't going to help get an app or integration to happen if you can't find the people interested in doing the code for you, whomever that would be. |

Repeated again, since this seems to be going round and round in circles again: *we* don't care about myspace. It's *great* that other people do. Hopefully someone with technical clue *will* care about it, so that those who want to use it, can. |
Re: Where's the MySpace support??
Hmmm so the root of the problem is that maemo developers are a different group from musicians who want to promote their music. I guess that's not so surprising.

Re: Where's the MySpace support??
Once again I am seeing people miss the point, and you people that say myspace is not used any more are simply ignorant to the facts. I to am in the music industry, every band has a profile and many use this as their primary web page. I am tired of people that the only social network in the virtual world telling everybody how it really isnt in the real world.

Re: Where's the MySpace support??
Well by that logic Nokia is dead as a phone platform, and by extension so is Maemo, People are leaving Nokia by the millions.

Re: Where's the MySpace support??
I would think myspace sucked to if my band only had 2700 profile views. And before you go there , the last time I was in Chicago I was at the Congress, and I will be at the Aragon in Feb or March. Why does Every body have to be such haters.

Re: Where's the MySpace support??
I wanted to come around just to ask. Who's prefering Myspace over Facebook? Some bands, yeah. Not a big audience for the effort, that has to be put in such a project to create a neat result.
Maybe you should check first, how many people are interested in a myspace app? Maybe a poll? |

Facebook is for connections to those you already know or have established contact. MySpace is all about finding new people to network with, whether you know them or not, based on common interests, music, art, location, etc. They aren't comparable on many fronts, because they compliment each other. I use both. All of these social networks are different in their own ways. Developers shouldn't always be so self serving. Think about the community, and ask how many would use it, and how many would be drawn to the community if we supported it. I'm willing to bet if we had some sort of special MySpace support, and we trumpeted it online and on MySpace, it would draw sales. Everyone wants a MySpace app for their phones, but if you have a Nokia, you're stuck with the full page or the mobile trash version. No in between. iPhone has one. Blackberry has one. WinMo has one. Android has one. According to THIS REPORT, Symbian and WebOS has one that was in development almost a year ago, though I've yet to see it. But where's the Maemo one?? You can't always code for yourself. Sometimes you can work to draw more eyes to the ecosystem. |

And I have a personal page I use to promote Maemo/Symbian as well as talk to my friends. My music team's pages are all artist related, and I'm the kind of producer that doesn't want to have a famous face outside of my hood, so I don't have my own music page anymore. But check me out here: www.MySpace.com/christexaport |

So, it would be more interesting to poll the (millions of?) users of MySpace, whether they thik it would be a good idea to have a "mobile MySpace-machine" that also does phone calls and other extra stuff. |

Ask yourself this: You do many shows. How many people from Facebook show up? Can I listen to your music easily on Facebook? Can I see video of your last shows on Facebook? If I can, imagine if you'd used the #3 site globally that people use for finding and streaming music, or the #2 site people access to stream video? You followed the numbers of Facebook instead of sticking to your marketing tools, which no one else can match right now. You could be selling downloads of your tracks, marketing your gear, and gaining fans. MySpace isn't as popular as a social medium for everyone, but they expect all musicians to have a page. Name one that doesn't that has a major following. |

Re: Where's the MySpace support??
I can show you an entire crew that would love a MySpace app on the N900 or Symbian device. For instance, check out my artist's little brother, T-Real, a local rap artist himself. He's not signed, but through MySpace, he's making real cash, and uses social networks to get his hustle on. He's like most artists on MySpace, using it and Facebook as well as others lilke Twitter, UStream, and even Google Voice!
http://www.myspace.com/trealusa He's only like 19, and has done a few videos, does multiple shows weekly, and buys gadgets like snack cakes. People aren't aware of how popular MySpace is with the urban minority music artist, or how much we hate Facebook. And for the record, MySpace isn't millions of people, but HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS. |
Re: Where's the MySpace support??
I'm still not even remotely sure what a Myspace app should even do (if we ignore the social networking part of it). If we look at Myspace as purely a place for music and look at it from that context... what should a Myspace app do exactly that the web browser doesn't allow us to do already?
Should it upload music? Allow direct playing of your favorite bands bypassing the randomly broken flash player? What are you looking to do with it exactly? Also, no, I don't think you should be saying that devs shouldn't be coding for what they choose to. It's their time. If you want someone to work on Myspace stuff, either find people that want to do it or get Myspace to hire people to work on it. |
Re: Where's the MySpace support??
Facebook and twitter will eventually disappear. It’s the kind of hype that has no real purpose. If we try to see with some distance they have something of idiotic. On the opposite myspace has some real interest for many people.

So I'd say Myspace is very important to at least one very large sector of people, yes. Edit- and facebook is an unnecessarily complicated, stupid annoying application ridden load of rubbish. I have to have a band page as well as a normal page and it mashes the whole lot onto my screen so I can't tell what's what. Hopeless unless you're a bored teen imho. |

Also view member profiles and their status, mood, and emoticon, comments, friends list, stream their playlists, playlists, and view and comment on their images.

Myspace is a legacy site. :)
