Feedpass, the feed syndication service that got slammed by bloggers in May, has set its sights on MySpace users. The new "Feedpass for MySpace" tool allows anyone to enter a MySpace Friend ID and Google Adsense ID, then instantly create a MySpace-themed RSS subscription page for that blog. This misses the mark on a few levels: most MySpacers don't use RSS, and it's easier to subscribe to blogs through MySpace's own interface. What's more, Feedpass gives you the ability to monetize other people's content without their permission (although I'm willing to bet that the majority of MySpace blogs aren't worth monetizing anyway!).

Once again, this looks like an attempt to ride the MySpace wave with little understanding of what MySpace users actually want (see also Browster). Since it took virtually no effort to implement MySpace support, it's definitely worth a shot - I just don't see it getting much uptake.
