MYSPACE VS. FACEBOOK: SOCIAL NETWORKING DEATHMATCH
Given that Facebook is unveiling their new advertising strategy tomorrow (code name Pandemic) and MySpace just issued a press release today describing the launch of their “SelfServe” advertising platform, I felt like this video was more than timely. Based on the insanely popular Mac vs. PC ads, this video brings to light all of the more annoying features of both social networks. News feed this Tila Tequila. . .
And one more thing, Marauder has antagonized over how to gain entry to Facebook’s little ad shin dig (scheduled for tomorrow) for over a week now. If anyone has a way in, speak now for the LOVE. . .
Facebook is expected to unveil its new advertising strategy Tuesday, in a project code-named Pandemic. The social-networking site is said to be removing its “sponsored groups” and introducing pages that advertisers can buy, which may include interactive applications and vertical categories.

News Corp.’s MySpace will launch a SelfServe advertising platform allowing advertisers to upload their own ads, among other features. In addition, MySpace’s HyperTargeting platform will expand to let advertisers choose from more than 100 target categories.

Forget about facebook and myspace a new player is coming, “mypepo” Competition is good.
Take a look at mypepo.com – It is an Open Source Social site using state of the art blogging platform WordPress. Currently in Beta and far from what they claim it will be but it looks and acts like nothing you’ve seen before.
I really see a potential here and a threat to MySpace ‘Out of Control’ and Facebook ‘Biggest seller of your Privacy’.
Comment by Mayra Alejandra Chaidez February 9, 2009 @ 4:54 AMThanks for stopping by. I just registered for mypepo even though I scoffed at your “state of the the art” blogging platform. I like WordPress but it’s surely not state of the art.
