Just getting started / learning, but does each app need a unique email?

I have over 10 applications that I'm developing for MySpace, so how many apps can one register developer put-out?

Can I just add that another way this new communication policy is unfair is that, while the Tom profile is open to all communication and is regularly contacted for support issues, the people who monitor the Tom profile do not have to work with the same unusable UI that people like us have to.

A piece of information I'm trying to find out - I know advertisements are not allowed on the widgets but would "sponsored by" tags be allowed? Nothing like a link, just a one line message. Thanks.

Okie, I'll try to answer (not sure if you all reposted this in the forums):

Eddie/jose, et al: Fully understand your frustration about members not allowing responses after they've emailed you - they do it to us too. But, we're also getting the complaints about people being unable to reach a developer. It is to your benefit to make your "contact me" info as visible and accessible in the app as possible to prevent this situation.

smart: your instance sounds fine, as long as it's messaging to the users who have been drafted, not a mass-invite/spam telling the world you've installed the app.

Please create a thread in the forum about this. You're not going to get the attention you need here.

PLEASE keep all communication with developers through EMAIL. Your myspace inbox is bad for handling hundreds of daily messages. Plus your anti spam measures only allow us to respond to 400 a day. This is a terrible idea. I cannot respond to this volume of messages using your horrible interface.

p.s. most of these people have spam settings that require friendship to send messages. What are we supposed to do about that?

"Applications may not ask a member to send any communication as the first action within the app"

Define "first action"? If I create a team name, then next page I draft my friends to play on my team, and then ask the user if they want to post an optional bulletin telling their friends that they are on their team, is this the first action or the 32nd action (considering the number of clicks and other actions.)

"All developers must have a public MySpace profile open to communication"

This is a terrible idea. We answer all of our customer email through our email form in our application because it goes to a CRM database. Comments on myspace tend to be spammy, and the UI is not designed to track a large volume of customers.

The rule needs to be thought out better. Otherwise customers will only be responding to a black hole.

"All developers must have a public MySpace profile open to communication. Meaning, the developer must allow messages from all users, and may not set messaging to friends-only. We do not want to see any more forum threads from members who can't contact developers."

Tha's cool but my problem (and I know others as well) [and it was raised months ago...] is that, if the user who writes to us has their settings not to allow messages from non - friends means we cannot reply even though they want and need a reply.

This is made even more annoying as sometimes the block of a reply happens after the reply message has been written and occasionally even blocked after a captcha is asked for.

This wastes everbody's time and patience...

On my app profiles I do warn about this but either the users ignore or do not realise what their settings are...
