MySpace App Platform may catch up Facebook soon

by Avatar	Stumble this!	August 10th 2008

It was bound to happen. i always knew and said so that once MySpace had their App Platform rolling at 100% it was only a matter of time for it to catch to Facebook numbers and appeal. this is simple. MySpace got more volume. while it was reported that Facebook Global visitor numbers were a little higher than those of MySpace last month. those numbers are on the old MySpace. the one that had not been updated and not the new one.

There is a lot of MySpace movement.they usually increase dramatically during the summer and they now got a new design, newer features to come and updated to their subsidiaries yet to finalize. and the fact that facebook may have got more hits for a month before the new myspace still don`t diminish the fact myspace it is still twice as big on user registrations, twice as big in mediatic events, etc. on the MySpace App Platform side, there is also the fact that apps are now central to the new design and that developers now count with app invitations too. so we have to wait and see how this affects user engagement and widgets, Widget-apps and regular Myspace apps growth. on the meantime it is clear the allure for developer is getting higher if OfferPal, a Virtual Currency and rewards programs network is to be believed as reported by Silicon Valley Insider:

according to the ad network OfferPal, which provides virtual currency and rewards programs for about 350 apps on social networks — mostly Facebook and MySpace. The company tells us that their clients are seeing the same returns from apps on each network – about $75 per 1,000 daily active users and $150-$200 for the higher engagement applications. Matt McAllister, the marketing director for OfferPal, said this is a recent development – since June.
