MySpace wins a big case against so-called Spam Kings, Sanford Wallace and Walter Rines. Great job against fighting spammers!
Wallace and Rines spammed MySpace by creating their own accounts and stealing the passwords of others. They then went on to mass message users an estimated 735,925 times. Each of these messages warrant up to $300 in damages under the 2003 federal anti-spam law CAN-SPAN because they were conducted “willingly and knowingly”.

iRead, is a Facebook/MySpace application for organizing your favorite books.
It looks like a great niche social network done right using Facebook app as the piggyback method.
Great job guys, keep up the great work! They are also making apps for other social networking sites, maybe it’s time that they create one of their own under their domain name. (That might be the killer revenue for them and also build a brand…)
iRead is an application and online community for book lovers. Once registered, you list, rate, and write reviews about books you are reading or what you have read in the past. Based on your reviews and preferences, you can find other readers with similar tastes, and check out their reading lists and recommendations to find more books you might enjoy. You can also browse randomly through other users’ reading lists and reviews. The iRead application for Facebook has already become very popular, with over one million registered users.

Domize, is a domain search tool that searches as you type using AJAX technology. (what I presume)
Basically, when you type “Google.com”, it will search for the available domain names in real-time including g.com, go.com,goo.com, goog.com, you get the idea.
I might have some good uses for this as sometimes I need that fast response.
Great job guys on the site.
As you type in the search box, Domize automatically starts showing the availability of dot coms, dot nets, and dot orgs. Red indicates it’s taken, blue indicates it’s available. Click the blue and Domize links you to GoDaddy to purchase the name (Domize presumably makes affiliate revenue if you complete the buy). Mouse-over the red for domain names that are taken and you’ll get a preview of the site, which allows you to see if it’s developed, or one that has nothing on it and is likely owned by a domain squatter that might be willing to sell you the name.

It seems like Web 3.0 is nearing and you see Wikis popping up everywhere. These days, most wikis don’t require and wiki markup language. (That’s the whole process of moving to Web 3.0. Sometimes, you can’t even tell it’s a wiki.)
PikiPages, is an evil-brother of PikiWiki, a wiki site that let’s you create wiki pages with sounds, pictures, and video on your Facebook. (Pretty neat I’d say, they are on the verge of Web 3.0 here)
I am not an avid (ab)user of Facebook anymore but these guys have their wikis straight.
Go check out PikiPages on Facebook and found out what you can do. I think this is one Facebook app I might actually log in and check out. (and probably has a good chance of going viral…)
The PikiPages editor is relatively simple to operate. It’s not the most aesthetically pleasing device in the Facebook application marketplace, but it’s no eyesore, either. And more importantly, it gets the job done. As long as the job is a fairly elementary one. No finagling with CSS here from what we can gather. Just options to add backgrounds, change layouts, add text, designs, various embeds, photos from your Facebook archive (or uploaded from your PC), audio and video recordings. Is that enough to get by? Only the individual user can decide that, of course, but for most people interested enough to find a place for the application in their personal library of choice services, what’s included may generally be what’s needed.
