MySpace's existing search sucked. I'd already switched to using a site:myspace.com with keywords... Will there be text ads on the profiles themselves? The article wasn't too clear, those are already beyond busy in many cases and ads will just get lost among the pictures and videos and animations...

If it is just text ads on the search results pages inside MySpace, I think they'll largely be ignored, I think people are getting really good at ignoring the google text ads as they have been incorporated into so many webpages now.

Where MySpace is valuable to advertisers/marketers is in the demographics and the fact that people return daily some multiple times per day. Lots of opportunities to show targeted ads if they can figure out a way to do it that doesn't piss people off. I was just reading today about another supposed MySpace killer called vox.
