Today my wife “retires”. Not because she has reached the age at which people normally retire, rather she is retiring because she wants to spend more time with our children.

We can afford to do this because of the income generated by our websites. We are doing some cost cutting (like giving up my office in town), but the main motivation behind that is to ensure the cash flow is there to put back into the business and make it grow even more.

I heard about this, this is fantastic!

The applications that could be developed, the addons, the bling. I want it and I want it now!

The gist of the story is that MySpace are considering making an api available so that people can develop applications, plugins etc for users of MySpace.

The possibilities that this opens up are endless, assuming that they do a good job on the API and don’t cripple it.

If you look around some of the big web development forums you are bound to find a number of people who are quite down on MySpace resource sites. “Their rubbish”, “They generate junk traffic”, and so on.

I can understand why an advertiser for say a Real Estate website thinks that traffic from this kind of site is rubbish, because to him it is. These kind of sites should not be showing ads for his site, but if they use YPN then there is a good chance they will end up running his ads.

I was recently contacted by Jeff with some questions about MySpace. Jeff has just started a new resource site. Of course I had to check out Jeff’s site, even though I was fully expecting the usual turnkey site that everyone uses.

I was pleasently surprised, and that soon turned to laughter. Jeff’s site has got to be one of the most original sites for MySpace resources out there. The site is tiny, only one page in fact, I sure hope Jeff takes his idea further and expands it.

Anyway if you want to check it out, the site is Crapflood: Unique Stuff for Myspace.
