MySpace Lets Users Upload Photos, Change Status Via Mobile

MySpace users can now upload pictures directly to their profiles from their mobile phones, reports a MySpace blog entry. Once users activate the “Send Photos From Your Phone” function—which must be done via mobile, not online—they will be able to send pictures they take with their phone through e-mail. MySpace is giving users who sign up for the service a personalized e-mail address, which they suggest should be put into the handsets phone book for easier access. Once a user sends a photo to the email address, it is supposed to show up on the site “in seconds.”

MySpace has also built a function that lets users update their status through text messaging. Again, they have to first activate the function online. Users send an SMS to MYSPC (69722) and the content of the text will be their new status. No way to change mood yet, though MySpace says they are working on it. They also said they would soon have custom moods available via WAP.

Myspace sucks the life out of members and communities, stop feeding Rupert money, he does not need it…and it is your content…Maybe the revenue model should put members and communities first….Myspace continues to follow their stale old act of creating large amounts of revenue on the backs of members and their content.

myspace is easily worth at least a billion, and where is the value coming from other than members/the communities content and activities.

How much ad revenue is myspace sharing with members that generate ad revenue for them ? Are they giving anything back to the community that has put them where they are ?

I am technology consultant, and this summer I became so feed up with the share cropper mentality of sites like myspace that I decided to build an application that shares the wealth that is created with the community.

We also have a stand alone ad service and we have a granular micro revenue sharing service that allows members to share their revenue with Friends, Groups, or Causes.

And unlike myspace and the rest we will be releasing most of the service to the open source community because we know we are not the smartest guys in the room.
