What Happens When Money is More Important Than the Customer?

The customer gets screwed...bottom line.

So you have heard me say that Myspace is nothing more than an advanced ad machine that is focused on money? Right? Well, it is.

Don't believe me? Check this little blog over at Security Fix.

An online banner advertisement that ran on MySpace.com and other sites over the past week used a Windows security flaw to infect more than a million users with spyware when people merely browsed the sites with unpatched versions of Windows, according to data collected by iDefense, a Verisign company.

So, one of Myspace's official online banner advertisements infected million of users with spyware....umm...I rest my case.

It is true that Myspace users aren't really paying customers...but Myspace wouldn't be alive if users weren't there to click on their ads - so in a way, they need us much much more than we need them.
