Perhaps after culling through user behavior on MySpace, anything more complex than clicking on a rate me button was eliminated, or saved for later...

Unless I'm completely missing something, it seems like the only way to "submit" items is if your rss (or a given source's) is included in the overall MySpace News aggregator.

They certainly don't make it easy or obvious for the audience to participate in any meaningful way (beyond rating).

But who knows, maybe this will take off...somehow?

Thanks Webomatica. The major pluses that MySpace News has are money and visibility and the leverage of its massive user base. So if they can make improvements, they *might* have a shot at making a go of it. But clearly this is a poor product launch.
