Myspace moves to OpenSocial

Everything is moving very quickly at Myspace HQ this week. It has just been confirmed that Myspace will now be joining Google's OpenSocial movement. This means that developers can write programs that can be used over any platform (Bebo and Six Apart are also confirmed at this point). This should save time in the programming department as they do not have to launch entirely new platforms every time there is a new application. It has also been a growing idea that users have separate profiles on a number of different SNSs where they do different things. Perhaps this is an attempt to make writing new programs across-the-board easier. It seems in making this decision Myspace have backed Facebook into a corner. The big question now is will they also join this OpenSocial movement...
