Sure everyone was rightfully excited when MySpace finally opened up their Apps section for all MySpacers, and even most of us knew that there was going to be some sort of “featured apps” section, but no one knew how much, or even if, how much MySpace would charge app developers to get their apps featured. Well, now we know. Nick O’Neil at SocialTimes has received word from sources that MySpace is offering up slots for anywhere from $50,000 – $100,000 per week. Ouch.
Sure this is another huddle that developers without $50,000 to burn will have to overcome, but if MySpace wants to truly foster and grow their application marketplace, I’m sure they’ll do what they can to maintain an organic and viral environment.
