I heard on the TV last night that myspace.com is now the 4th popular website, and is gaining 100 users per minute.

They have a massive active viral marking base, and currently have a classifieds feature similar to craigslist.

Anyone think an auction or storefront system might be a possibility for myspace, and a possible future threat for ebay?

I thought myspace.com was just full of teenagers bloggin and chatting. That is not the type of customer I want to be attracting, but if you have tolerance for those kind of games, go for it.

It is mostly young adults. There are some older adults especially in the political forums.

I'm still trying to figure out what an "active viral marking base" is.

Could it perhaps be an active vital marketing base??

Yes, I meant to type "marketing"...

viral marketing - A marketing tactic relying upon some aspect of the system to cause the promotion to propagate itself as initial targets pass the promotion onto others. One example of viral marketing is encouraging current and potential customers to tell others about the company's products and services, and in turn encouraging those others to tell even more others.
