Social Networking


TechCrunch founder and editor Michael Arrington and Facebook advertising guru Dennis Yu scored a couple victories for the Good Guys this week by forcing decisive action from MySpace along with Social Gaming platforms RockYou and Zynga.

Arrington started the ball rolling with Scamville: The Social Gaming Ecosystem of Hell and Yu pushed the gas pedal to the floor with, How To Spam Facebook Like A Pro: An Insider’s Confession.

The result of these searing indictments of sleaze is that MySpace publicly flagellated these scammers, toughen up their TOC for applications and advertisers and pledged to get serious about enforcement.

Maybe Facebook, Google Adwords/Adsense and Yahoo will follow suit and get serious about cleaning up the scams.

 

Looking for a really unusual vacation idea?  Going to Wales?  Check out this really cool vacation rental in a Medieval Manor.

Nothing like sleeping in an 800 year old manor house in Caldicot to remind you that America is a new country.  This is a great find if you are thinking of going to the Ryder Cup in 2010, because apparently all the hotels within 100 miles are sold out already.
