You can see reviews left by your friends and your reviews will get syndicated back to your profile. But why create a new destination site (and not just use MySpaceID)?

If you're like me most of your myspace friends are people you've never met whereas facebook is the opposite. Adding the MySpace Local at least gives the site a potential geo-community to make up for the fact that you didn't go to high school or college with your myspace friends. the whole local play for myspace is a great move.. one reason myspace has lagged lately was because, frankly, there has been no local component of the site.

To offer another avenue of socializing with such an easy connection is most beneficial to it's followers. After all, a social network - neighborhood is more about how to keep the people in the site and not drive them away from it. So, to keep within that realm of thought, what better way to stay in-tune with the times and the needs of it's members, than to provide another useful and linked feature.

I wonder why MySpace people think this works. Worse why advertisers think it does when the whole network is on the verge of a stagnation (compared to its competitors). Maybe this is a good move, but where do you bring in users from and how are going to give yourself a facelift? Sigh! The Title can be “MyAds open to Public”.
