MySpace Goes Open Source

MySpace today launched a new site and released code that will allow developers to build applications for the MySpace social networking website. Beginning next month, the platform will be rolled out to users, who can add the MySpace applications to their personal home and profile pages. All of the applications created on the new site will be able to access publicly available profile information, including a user's friends list, interests, photos and albums, video and status notifications, according to MySpace.
