MySpace No Longer An 'Autonomous Island,' Offers Data Portability
Within several weeks, users will be able to share their information across a network of initial partner sites, including Yahoo, eBay, Twitter and the MySpace-owned photo-sharing site Photobucket.
"MySpace no long exists as an autonomous island on the Internet," MySpace co-founder and chief executive Chris DeWolfe said during a press call Thursday. "This enables a new layer of social activity and a more dynamic Internet."
Rather than updating information across the Web, users can update their profile in one place, and share that information with the other sites. With the new program, users will have control over what information they share and who they share it with.
MySpace will be rolling out a centralized location within the site that allows users to manage how their content and data is made available to third-party sites.

...myspace is irrelevant. they missed the boat.
I will say they have made vast improvements to the site in the last 6 months.
Myspace is good for bands and music, it's fair for marketing and video. It still lacks for everything else IMO
that and it never developed the interface past internet circa 2001.
