true. my parents met on craigslist.

(just kidding. i don't think that's possible.)

I do the visual design, my partner does the technical design. We collaborate on the conceptual design.

I also do the marketing and sales.

There are certainly a lot of ways to monetize MySpace beyond ad revenue, and using it as a music distribution channel is one of the easiest. (maybe News Corp. should buy Amie Street, and integrate it into myspace?)

But shouldn't they start by doing a better job capitalizing on the advertising potential? Theoretically, MySpace should know a massive amount of information about each user (everything they list on their profile page), including location, age, interests, media consumption patterns, etc. They could be selling very highly-targeted ads based on all of those parameters. Wouldn't it be more lucrative NOT to sell a graphical ad on the homepage at a daily rate of $250,000 (as the post reports), but instead to make the homepage ad dynamically tailored to each user?

yes, we should do an east coast meetup. Count me in. Say, next week some time?
