I was a fierce supporter of MySpace back in the day (www.myspace/tw1ggy1967 - natch!) but after I moved across to Facebook it became simply a tool for me to engage with bands for this blog and FB became very important in terms of organising my social life and keeping in contact with my mates. Now for me MySpace is very clunky and slow and Facebook beats it hands down in terms of ease of use. However, if you want to hear new music nothing beats MySpace (as long as you can sort the wheat from the chaff) So news today that MySpace is planning to open its destination to third-party developers, a move that mimics a structure found on Facebook is very exciting.
The social networking giant may unveil the developer platform as early as next week, according to information circulating on TechCrunch. MySpace will support Flash applets, iFrame elements and Javascript snippets, and also offer access to information like user profiles, friends lists, and activity history, according to the report.
The concept, called MySpace Platform, will also allow third-party developers to serve their own advertising. That follows a period of resistance by MySpace to outside advertising, and also mirrors an approach used by Facebook. The MySpace move, if realized, opens considerable possibilities for music-focused initiatives.

Myspace!
what I do not like of facebook is that without login you don't have access. It is like a club prive'.

I created a Myspace account to market the website. I added every band imaginable and browse the bulletins daily...the majority of the site content I post comes from there.
There's a lot about the site I dislike, but it's great for networking with bands and labels.
Yeah its not as easy to nose about Valerio...byt maybe thats a good thing?
