Zango Return to Myspace

....amazingly, it looks like someone at Zango thought it'd be a good idea to set up another profile on Myspace. Check out the screenshot - Location: Bellevue, Western Australia(?), United States. Tagline: You're good to go (Zango's tagline thing). The page is here - considering what happened last time, someone at Zango might want to keep an eye on this one. Remember this? Quote time:

The profiles were a mistake, countered a Zango spokesman Monday. According to Zango's Steve Stratz, the two spotted by Boyd were created by a company developer based in its Montreal office......Those two test accounts were actually created by one of our developers who was exploring possible opportunities, but he didn't realise it was Zango business practice not to target MySpace," said Stratz. "He should not have been doing this, and we want to tell MySpace that we didn't mean to target them." The developer, said Stratz, would soon be deleting the profiles.

Uh, so why are you back on Myspace creating profiles? Will this profile be getting deleted too? If not, does that mean you are now targetting Myspace?

Considering the recent FTC ruling, you'd think these repeated bouts of "whoops, not again" would be finally put to the sword. However, as we've seen just the other day Zango keep popping up in all manner of strange places. Zango took quite the beating over the Myspace fiasco, so I must say I'm rather surprised to see them going right back to square one and inviting yet more potential criticism over their antics.

If they did actually create this profile, they should kill it off as fast as they can before we have a case of Myspace: Reloaded.
