MySpace Launches New Features for MySpaceID; Functionality Live Today

MySpaceID also launched developer access to MySpace user activity streams and a seamless authentication experience for sites across the web as well as a new developer workflow and MySpaceID SDKs. Additionally, today MySpace announced a MySpaceID implementation, currently in limited testing on the new Yahoo! homepage. The MySpace application is one of several new "Apps" Yahoo! recently began testing as part of its new Yahoo! homepage, enabling users to check-in and keep up to date with the information and people they care about most. The launch marks a significant milestone for MySpaceID.

"The MySpace App, currently in testing on the new Yahoo! homepage, adds new social functionality to the Yahoo! experience by using MySpaceID to connect Yahoo! users to their MySpace network. By logging into MySpace from the new App right on the Yahoo! homepage, users get quick access to their MySpace friend updates, friend requests, and can manage their MySpace status, mood and more - all while catching up on their other activities on Yahoo!," said Jason Oberfest, senior vice president of business development and general manager of the MySpace Open Platform. "By working with Yahoo! we have been able to take a big step forward in evolving the open Web--we are very pleased to be working with them."
