MySpace and MySpacePros to form an official relationship.

[Greg-J]

I've been waiting until the first official meeting, but I thought a bit of great news to cheer everyone up and I figured no better time than the present.

I've been invited to head up a council that will be the official council for resource sites with MySpace/FIM. We haven't spoken about the details yet, but the council will be responsible for being the mediator between MySpace and resource sites.

This is great news for everyone because now communication between myspace and resource site owners will have its own official channel.

There is no news yet as to which social networks this council will extend to and when that will happen yet, but I should have more paperwork and information by Monday or Tuesday on this and I will keep everyone updated.

[JazzyJazzdotnet]

Great to hear!

[FLN]

thats awesome! :)

[jvuonger]

Sounds like good news to me!

[Sergio]

Very good news. Thanks for the update.

[minnseoelite]

very sweet.....maybe they can black list all the non MyspacePros members websites and only let our sites promote on Myspace rofl

[Ajay]

great news greg... great news!

[misterproline]

hahah for sure...

It'd be cool for them to have a nice 1 page directory of MyspacePros members sites...we've been supporting Myspace for a loooooong time, we come in PEACE!

[Jazzylee77]

Congratulations. It's good news that they really are wanting to work with resource sites.

[Greg-J]

It's awsome news indeed. I just got off the phone with another who is involved and there's even more exciting news I will hopefully have information on tomorrow regardinga program that will bring us another form of monetization.

[NYCBORN]

Will this be before or after Myeeos launch? Is myspace ok with the fact that you guys are launching a competing product?

[George]

So people who already have large sites like pyzam will need to go through this counsel to contact myspace?

[Sergio]

Will this be before or after Myeeos launch? Is myspace ok with the fact that you guys are launching a competing product?
Greg doesn't have anything to do with Myeeos anymore, so your question is irrelevant. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Ajay]

:/ i don't think myeeos has anything to do with this forum right now. they closed the section and updates are only available through pgz and cyclops.

Will this be before or after Myeeos launch? Is myspace ok with the fact that you guys are launching a competing product?

[Greg-J]

this is independent of myeeos.

As for larger sites like pyzam, Robert has all the same numbers I do. Chances are, if you already have a relationship with people at myspace, you will still have that relationship.

[MyspaceMom]

Thats FANTASTIC!

[NYCBORN]

Haven't been paying attention I thought this was a msp project. Anyways that's good stuff. I still have my contacts at Myspace so I'm good. :punk:

[CharmRoyal]

Good news, I'm glad to here this!

[DeVanTe]

This is good news, but I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.

[TFB_princess]

I'm hearing everyone say *Great news!* so I guess it's great, but as usual I'm confused.

[ladyborg]

It's great that they are finally seeing that we are really an asset to them.

[Aleisha]

Nice one greggy

[84creations]

Sweet!!!(Y)

[JessicaCali0331]

Awesome News!!

[edit]

cool. looking forward to getting more details in the future.

[offthedome]

Congrats Greg. I think you have my dream job ROFL

[strawberryswirl]

That's pretty awesome, I can't wait to hear more details. But it does make me wonder...if MySpace is going to mediate here...will that become a problem, would we become limited?

[Mixi]

This sounds intersting I cant wait to hear more news about whats going to take place

[tacoflavoredkisses]

:) this made my night!
cant wait for updates!
thanks for keeping us posted greg

[Kyle]

Sweet, let me know if you need any help ;)

[rawrr]

great news!! im actually excited for some strange reason...

keep us posted =D

[geg2]

More communication with Myspace should be good for resource site owners.

Issues that have received much attention on the forum but no official word from Myspace include:

1) Why certain resource sites have been filtered/unfiltered
2) The current whitelisting of resource sites from the warning page

[mytam]

That's awesome! :D

I will believe it when I see it.

I agree

Greg, try to talk with them about this warning/blocking issue, there are lots of resource sites still blaclisted, all of my are

[wce]

cool, so if I PM you some of my sites can you whitelist them for me? they've been blacklisted too damn long and I'm losing traffic

[SamOwen]

I hope this helps a site get whitelisted.

[Saruna]

that's great! :D

[xJennax]

Woah that's awesome. :P Hope all goes well.

[Benahue]

It was my understanding that it's still Greg's project; he just hired a development company to develop it. Is this true?

Myspace has come a long way from the days when they would hang the phone up on you if you said you were a resource site. Remember there was a time (about a year ago) when their relationship seemed antagonistic. Good to hear this latest news.

:balloon:

[Graphic Addict]

hahah for sure...

Agreed! (L) NICE! And yes, PLEASE try and talk them out of warning people about our sites (black listing) As all of mine, but one are blacklisted as well....

true good they atleast want to talk now.

yet this could be a scam...some one who doesnt like myspace pros trying to cause a lil trouble.

hope it all works out...

[NaSh123]

Great job Greg! This is good news for resource sites. It goes to show signs of survival for us.

[n3o]

i dont understand why everyone is so happy ? if myspace and myspacepros is partnering ? do we as a myspacepros members gets any benefits ?

will we get any special treatment ?

but congrats to greg

[Andrew2]

if its true, its just a more direct connection between site owners and myspace administrators with greg being the cord that connects the two.

It's certainly not a bad thing...

We are the people, he is the megaphone and they are the gods.

That makes greg sound like a tool though... He's our representative. Greg is the Jared from Subway of Resource Sites. The Gecko from Geico.

[Greg-J]

The main goal is expedite communication between between myspace and resource site owners. Issues such as white/black-listing sites, policy changes, platform development etc. Unfortunately the people I'm dealing with are incredibly busy so getting proper paperwork is slower-going than planned.

Bottom line is that, this is a good thing for resource site owners. A very good thing.

[Aleisha]

A good thing indeed greggy

[Priya]

wow great news Greg :)

[peanut]

Sources have confirmed that this is not true. Sorry to be the person to break the news but someone jumped the gun.

The Council part is true but the rest is false.

So what you're saying is there is really a council to communicate to myspace, but Greg was not asked to lead it? What part exactly is not true?

[peanut]

Im just the messenger dont shoot me.....LOL

[pimpyourdino]

I know for sure that the council is happening, I was allowed to sign up and so were a lot of other large sites but I chose not to.

[wce]

I know for sure that the council is happening, I was allowed to sign up and so were a lot of other large sites but I chose not to.

why wouldn't you signup? doesn't seem to make much sense that you wouldn't... your future would be secured with myspace... why leave it to hang upside down by its toes?

[Ajay]

cause he want's no part of corporate america. dino is his own man.

and if what peanuts say is true, AWW COME ON, SAY IT AIN'T SO :(

[spotlight-shure]

Good news. Hopefully everything works out for both sides.

[NYCBORN]

What's gonna happen when the jig is up?

[Aleisha]

; )

Yeah, what is going to happen?

[George]

Yeah if what peanut says is true then this was all a big ploy because someone was afraid of a certain new forum that has been added to the swear filters around here and wanted to make MSP seem like it was something bigger than it is ;)

[NYCBORN]

I heard some stuff through the grapevine and it doesn't sound good for a lot of people. That's all I'm saying. Well not really a lot of people just certain individuals but until I see proof about any special relationships between msp and myspace it's business as usual.

Like my momma always said, you just can't believe everything you see on tv...or in this case read on a forum.

[minnseoelite]

whoa do my taxes and have to come back to clean up lol. please try and keep this on topic. if you wish to discuss separate issues please make another thread :)

[Greg-J]

Sources have confirmed that this is not true. Sorry to be the person to break the news but someone jumped the gun.

The Council part is true but the rest is false.
I don't have time for the usual childish B.S. Your sources are either lying or you are lying, either way I don't appreciate it.

[George]

wow peanut was great when he was supporting myeeos.

Now he's a liar :(

You suck peanut!

[Jen]

I'd like to know how we can believe you Greg after reading the mysterious email that was sent around. I mean you basically confirmed it in your blog. :(

[Greg-J]

Myeeos isn't something I'm going to discuss any further than what I wrote on my blog. I'm not going to defend myself against false accusations here.

As for this council, the people creating it are on the east coast so it would be inappropriate to call them at this time, but I'll be on the phone with them tomorrow and I will post here afterward.

[Aleisha]

Awesome greggy

[Aleisha]

See, the thing that annoys me is you Greg saying

"Get your resource sites ready, it's coming tomorrow if not the next day"

Or people would ask if they should work on their sites and you'd say 'Definately, it's almost ready'

So people like myself would spend a few hours in the night working on their "myeeos" site, then have nothing unfold as far as myeeos launch.

So it would basically be wasted time.

But then we read this line:

[9:41:46 PM] Michael Morgan says: We moved Myeeos to a new server last month and greg hasn't noticed yet, keeps saying he is working on the site but he doesn't have any login details lol .

That fustrates me.

I don't expect you to reply though seeing how you've had your final word on the matter.

[Greg-J]

This announcement is dependent on other people. I've been waiting for two weeks for the information, but these people are really really busy individuals. I was suppose to have it by Sunday or Monday, but nothing yet. This obviously isn't the most important thing on their plate right now.

Regarding myeeos, I rarely work on remote copies of any site I'm working on. If I'm not working locally, I use my hosts file to point whatever domain I am developing to a development server.
