MySpace Launches Data Availability

MySpace data can now be shared (by users) with other partners (Yahoo, Ebay, Twitter… more to come) so that user profiles, photos, music and videos can be accessed by other services. This mainly allows a better integration into other services, the other alternative being using widgets which, by nature, aren’t so friendly to integration. The information will flow in real-time, which means that updates on MySpace will propagate to other services. Finally, MySpace account owners can decide to share or stop sharing the data at anytime. This is a global launch for all localized versions of MySpace.
