    MySpace has taken a bold step and allowed a large quantity of bulk user data to be put up for sale on startup data marketplace InfoChimps. Data offered includes user playlists, mood updates, mobile updates, photos, vents, reviews, blog posts, names and zipcodes. Friend lists are not included. Remember, Facebook and Twitter may be the name of the game these days in tech circles, but MySpace still sees 1 billion user status updates posted every month. Those updates will now be available for bulk analysis.
    Surprise!

      "Our site's popularity is flagging."

      "OMG, what'll we do?"

      "I know, let's sell information on user activities to boost our profit margin!"

      "Excellent, that's not likely to upset anyone at all!"


      Idiots.

      i thought the whole business model if these sites was to sell off their data. How else can they expect to make money?
