			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been giving some thought about advertising on MySpace. I&#8217;ve never advertised there and I was curious about their rates. I hardly ever use MySpace anymore, I don&#8217;t have much need for it personally. I actually had to dig around to remember my password.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a screen shot from the process of inquiring on advertising. My account is set up as Canadian because I lived there when I registered it. Note the currency default in the &#8220;Estimated Monthly Marketing Budget&#8221; drop down?</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.davemadethat.com/wp-content/myspacepouds.png" alt="MySpace advertising form is broken" height="316" width="494" /></p>
<p>Why is MySpace defaulting to Pounds Sterling? I can understand it choosing the Canadian dollar since the account was set up that way. I can also understand it defaulting to US dollars since my address is now stateside, but Pounds? I went along with it any way and submitted my request for information (yes, I also filled out my phone number). I hit submit and waited a moment and received the following message:</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.davemadethat.com/wp-content/myspaceerror.png" alt="MySpace advertising form error" height="112" width="490" /></p>
<p>I tried to submit the form several times, but each time I got the error message. My humble opinion is that MySpace is broken.
