Save myspace games

My personal home page has two big graphical advertisements for Bank of America, plus graphical plugs for a game by Zynga, a MySpace Karaoke site, and sponsored listings for a concrete company.

Admittedly, there hasn't been much action on my page for MySpace to use to target ads, but even when I visit other musicians' profile pages--the main reason I use the site--I'm bombarded by graphical banner ads for low-value products I have no interest in, like mortgage refinancing and online education classes. When I search for a particular song on MySpace Music and the top two-thirds of the page--nearly everything above the fold--is devoted to sponsored links and annoying video ads.

Contrast that with Facebook, where the ads on the most popular pages home and profile pages are limited to a clearly labeled right-hand column and are sometimes surprisingly relevant. One relative, a big Jerry Seinfeld fan, didn't know he was coming to her town until she saw an ad on her Facebook page.

She actually bought a ticket through the site! I'm willing to bet that hardly ever happens on MySpace. Solution: devote less space to advertising, eliminate the super-annoying blinking flashing banner ads, and do a better job of optimizing advertisements to individual users.

Fix search. It's better than it used to be, but it's still not very tolerant--unless you enter the exact band name, you might get a lot of irrelevant results. Solution: wasn't that Google deal supposed to be about more than advertising? Maybe your next one can include some technology transfer as well.

Let the geeks run the company. One of the most interesting things going on at MySpace right now is the development platform : I'm seeing more digital start-ups who are essentially using MySpace like the Windows of online music , tapping into the functionality and social networking connections that have already been established there, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel.

This shows promise: build the ecosystem of apps, and users will have to keep coming back. Solution: I don't know how MySpace is organized today, so I can't get too detailed here, but put the people with technical chops in charge, and don't let the marketers, ad salespeople, and record-industry business development folks run the show.

Hence it is lightweight and doesn't even need to be installed. Download it from here and run it. Windows SmartScreen filter may throw up error, but ignore it as you ignore the update requests. Upon running the app, the first thing you need to do is selecting the folder where game files are located.

Steam users can find them by following the guide here. After selecting a games folder, you have to decide on the Compression Algorithm. If we go into explaining the algorithms, we will transform into James May and probably put you all to sleep. So, we will borrow the short explanation put out by the developer. Before pressing the Compress Folder button, you can get a rough idea of how much space you will save by pressing the Analyse Folder button.

Once you've finalized the options, click on the Compress button to start compressing the files. If you had chosen to analyze in the previous step, click on Return to Selection Screen first and then on the Compress button. The compressing process will take some time depending on the game size and your PC.

For games above 20GB, expect it to take around minutes. Once compressed, you'll be shown a graphic presentation of how much size reduction has been achieved. If you experience any problem running some game or encounter performance issues, you can decompress the files using the tool too. Select the compressed folder, click the Analyse button first and then the Uncompress Folder button, as shown below.
