Category:MySpace Apps

MySpace Apps are fun and engaging social applications deeply integrated into MySpace.

Examples of Apps include:

• Multiplayer games (e.g. poker, role play).
• Virtual Gifting apps.
• Virtual Pets and virtual worlds.
• Informational Apps, such as concert listings or celebrity content .

MySpace is dedicated to building a rich economy for App Developers and has a straight forward business model where developers keep 100% of the revenue on the canvas page. Developers can create games that monetize users through advertising or virtual goods and can promote their own sites and/or brands to millions of MySpace members. MySpace provides various paid sponsorship vehicles to help developers expand their business, and is committed to rolling out additional monetization opportunities for developers.

Apps can appear in 6 places on MySpace:

• Application gallery listing.
• Profiles (outward facing — public or for friends to see).
• User homepage (inward facing — for users to see).
• A canvas page (a full page on MySpace dedicated to the app).
• Friend Updates (apps appear in the friend updates upon install and user actions).
• Invites/ Notifications (invite friends to use apps, apps can message users).

MySpace supports the development of applications based on OpenSocial, an open, industry standard for building Apps. As a founding partner of the OpenSocial Foundation, MySpace is deeply committed to advancing open standards for social applications.
