Don’t know what to get your loved one? Wal-Mart has made a list of recommendations based on people’s interests on their Facebook pages. At the very top: A keepsake box for men.

Today and tomorrow, Specific Media-owned Myspace is at Advertising Week with Justin Timberlake to sell marketers on its new strategy. Here’s the company’s pitch slides.

Instead of a press conference or a product launch, the company will be addressing “CMOs and senior marketers” to tell them about advertising opportunities and show off Justin Timberlake.

Oh dear, oh my — with the first move that the new owners of Myspace have made, it’s pretty clear they are taking the worrisome look-at-the-shiny-celebrity approach.
The trio of Vanderhook brothers who run Specific Media, which paid $35 million to buy the News Corp.-owned music-focused social networking site, began by swanning around the appealing singer and actor’s name as an investor.
Maybe they should focus on making products the star first.
