The “MySpace Citizen Journalist” winner, chosen by a panel of experts, will join the Davos press corps and leverage the MySpace platform to report on conference news and interview world leaders about issues relevant to the global MySpace community. This year MySpace will expand the contestant pool and accept entries from users in the United States and the United Kingdom.
MySpace launches a suite of new API that allow developers to leverage public MySpace data and create innovative applications to socialize content on and off MySpace. Opening up access to publicly available real-time data (such as status updates, music, photos, videos) MySpace reinforces its commitment to powering the real-time social Web and the development of open standards.
Mike Jones, Chief Operating Officer at MySpace, is speaking at LeWeb today to share MySpace’s real-time Web strategy and efforts to empower developers with the new APIs. Based on open standards, the new free-to-use APIs include:
MySpace launches the next phase of the company’s music offering with a wave of new products and tools now available to artists and fans. Today MySpace begins the global rollout of a new comprehensive MySpace Music Video experience, the MySpace Artist Dashboard – a free data and analytics tool for artists globally – and the ability for users to purchase music on iTunes.
The launch of MySpace Music Videos offers fans one of the most comprehensive online collections of music videos available anywhere. MySpace’s Music Video catalogue includes fully licensed music video content from all of the company’s major and independent label partners.
Combo Adds is the first friend-adding website of its kind that offers a free, user-friendly interface to market profiles on multiple social networks at the same time. Users will have access to an effective way to promote profiles, increase views, subscriptions, followers, and friends without spam. The VIP points program entices users to add friends and click links that drive traffic to profiles on some of the most popular social networking sites.
Combo Adds streamlines the MySpace friend-adding process by
allowing users to accrue points while adding one, five, or 25 friends at the same time. MySpace imposes daily adding limits on how many friend requests users can send, but no limit on how many friend requests users can receive. It’s fast and easy to meet the daily quota of friend requests with Combo Adds and even easier to receive incoming requests 24-7. Combo Adds even offers the option to search by interests, gender, age, and applications. By targeting popular apps like Mafia Wars and Fashion Wars players can also quickly build their teams.
Gigya, the leading technology for connecting content and consumers with the social web, release its Socialize technology, now available as a module for Drupal. The Socialize module was developed in conjunction with Acquia, the enterprise guide to the Drupal Social Publishing System.
