The MySpace Developer Platform team would like to invite you to the Offerpal Media MySpace DevJam event on February 5, 2009 at our offices in San Francisco. Feb 5th also happens to be the one year anniversary of the MySpace Developer Platform!!
This DevJam will focus on monetizing MySpace applications through the use of virtual currency. We’ll look at the different ways to create a virtual economy within your app and the best practices for extracting real revenues from your virtual dollars. We’ll examine such issues as how to allow users to earn virtual currency, how to let them redeem virtual currency, and how you can use virtual currency to also deepen user engagement.
Offerpal is also giving 3-4 developers the chance to have their MySpace apps reviewed by Offerpal's team of expert consultants. If you are interested, please send your MySpace app URL, name of the app and any other relevant information to Matt McAllister, mmcallister@myofferpal.com. Chosen apps will come away with a better understanding of how to optimize their virtual economy in order to extract the most revenues.
From the MySpace side, we'll have a few of our team discussing the latest updates to the MySpace Open Platform.
- Max Newbould, Product Lead for the MySpace Developer Platform's OpenSocial container, will speak about OpenSocial 0.9, activities, notifications, and preview OSML in action.
- Max Engel, Product Lead for MySpaceID, will discuss what developers can do with MySpace API’s offsite.
- Jason Oberfest, Vice President of Business Development and General Manager of MySpaceID, will speak about the current ad programs MySpace is offering developers.
Space is limited, so register now!
