Posted by webwarrior on June 3rd, 2010
MySpace announced today that it has struck a deal with Ad.ly, an ad service that serves in-stream advertisements, known mostly for its Twitter-related efforts. The deal will let content creators across MySpace (including celebrities, filmmakers, musicians and "social influencers") reach their fans and monetize their activity via the MySpace stream and Ad.ly, MySpace says.
"MySpace pioneered tools for musicians and now with this new relationship with Ad.ly we’re doing the same for our community of social leaders – allowing monetization of the activity stream,” said Sean Percival, Director of Content Socialization for MySpace. "This deal provides publishers with the opportunity to associate themselves with brands that represent and reflect their personas online."
