   Maybe so, but if you consider some of the top apps under F8 have gained 6 million users Apple would be mad not to be involved.

   This is HUGE. I wonder how Bebo managed to get picked as the first partner for Apple. I wonder how the rev-share breaks down, but it smells like guaranteed revenue and monetizing strategy for virtually all socialnetwork players. They will absolutely line up and beg to get into this program.

   Please DELETE THE POST WITH THE RACIST JOKES

   - we have no room (not even on the web) for racist

   - the is huge to be Apples’ first partnet - I bet you have to give alot.

   - Im thinking normal commission (3%) ((guess)) …

   - Bebo probably getting 1% of each song sold if that.

   I think it’s a logical move for Apple; I don’t know much about the social networking craze, but there’s got to be a lot of money there. This also looks to be a great thing for the artists who might not have the most exposure out there, but we’ll just have to see how it all shakes out in the end I guess.

   It is not racist. It is a fact.

   Most of America’s problems are caused by spics, niggers, jews, chinkis.

   Are those things true that the bebo founder said? Please point me to some credible links.

    Apple picked Bebo because it was locked out of all the other major sites.

    MySpace has Snocap. Facebook wanted to be hands off with it’s Platform and none of the third parties widget, iLike/Last, have the direct access to the site code like Facebook does. I’m amazed that Piczo didn’t get a crack at it, but regardless Bebo was just the Cinderella left from the ball.

    snocap sucks anyway - they haven’t had any traction with folks outside of Myspace. They charge like crazy http://www.snocap.com/about/faq/ and they really don’t offer a lot of major distribution channels.

    iTunes on the other hand is a totally different ball game altogether. I would seriously suggest the artists move to Bebo or at least have a store there. The distribution and the publicity that they can get is way better than what snocap will ever be able to provide them.

    Think about it, is the snocap marketing genius as big as the ideas that have come from Apple?

    I rest my case!

    @13,

    Der… you must be retarded. Apple isn’t promoting anyone on Bebo for iTunes. It’s just providing some logistics to enable people to buy music.

    The Bebo integration isn’t even a massive effort, it’s just a testbed. Whenever Myspae’s deal with Snocap runs out, Apple’s just going to go right up and cozy with them and publicize the ABILITY to buy music and not the artists in a bigger way.

    Never post r*cist content on lie. Why?

    ECHELON –The government will store contents on Harddrive. Most corporate companies will check your r*cist background. You will get FIRED or layoff from your job and as well as you grand children, great grand children, etc..

    R*cism cost more tax payers money. Remember comedy stand up, radio talk show host, etc… Famous people get fired too.

    If people support r*cism ideology.

    Advice:
    Be careful with CIA. Mossad, KGB, etc. They have special weapon to kill racist people. Read hilter’s history.

    Remember: Don’t post anything stupid or put yourself into comedy risk.

    Don’t forget there are whites who hate your guts too… You never went to War with iraq. Don’t say America’s problems are caused by color people.

    Real America’s problem are caused by greed, corruption, treason, emulating hilter’s abhor feelings.

    P.S. What does your dollar bill say in back?

    “In God we trust” :p

    Bebo has done a great job to align itself with the Goliath Apple.
    Coming to an iPhone soon, your Bebo social network.
    A match made in social network heaven.

    It appears that iTunes is one step closer to building an affiliate program to generate additional sales.

    Any information on how revenue will be shared? Will bebo get a portion of the revenues generated?
