MySpace, the world’s most popular social network, announced today a music merchandise deal with Zazzle, the only on-demand retail platform to offer billions of retail quality, one-of a kind products shipped within 24 hours.
The distribution partnership will empower the more than 6 million musicians and bands on MySpace to sell unlimited music merchandise to the MySpace community instantly. It also underscores MySpace’s commitment to offer tools and services to the music industry that benefit artists and consumers alike.
With this new partnership, musicians and bands on MySpace will be able to create products and sell merchandise by putting the Zazzle Merch Booth widget on their MySpace profile.
This widget will also enable placement of the artist’s merchandise in a Zazzle gallery, their own websites, fan sites, blogs and more. MySpace users can also use Zazzle to create their own custom items for their favorite musicians and bands.
Musicians and bands on MySpace will be able to sell their merchandise direct from their own online Zazzle Merch Booth, and have it produced and shipped from Zazzle in one day. No upfront costs, fees or contracts are involved.

It’s certainly an interesting tool, this Zazzle. Isn’t Myspace a little overblown though? It’s too huge, and there’s no community spirit, unlike smaller, more intimate sites like say http://www.b4uparty.com
Interesting…
