  • I think MySpace is still quite adrift from Facebook.
  • Hi there,

    My name is Rhonda Rondeau - and I'm the MDP community manager.

    Perhaps I was not clear in my blog post and for that I am sorry. I want to clear up the story posted about MySpace closing the app forums.

    We did not close the app forums. We moved them from the app profile home page. Developers can choose to use them or not.

    All internet forums have their trolls, and app forums were no exception. We removed them off the home page due to developer feedback. We put a lot of worth into what our devs say and we acted based on that feedback.

    But the app forums are not closed and we have NO plans on closing them. :) They're just not on the front page anymore. We have devs using these and other software as well.

    Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.

    Rhonda
  • There are many applications on which spammers are also attacking. Some applications spam. Facebook is far more better for protect their users from spam. I recently have developed a spam tracking application with the help of SALACTIVE (http://www.salactive.com) and FACEBOOKSTER (http://www.facebookster.com). The application will be launched in the upcoming week. This application will help the users/developers to avoid being spammed.
  • create facebook applications and boost your business.
  • Well I am using facebook and I like it but I also get lot of spam which is not very nice
