MySpace's third apps platform to take on Facebook
In a delayed reaction to Facebook’s decision to allow third party applications, Myspace has announced that it too will allow third party apps sometime in the next few months.
Murdoch and MySpace chief executive officer Chris DeWolfe announced on Wednesday night at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, that MySpace would be opening its API to third party developers within the next few months.
The platform will allow APIs and a markup language that allow developers to build their own apps that run within Myspace. Third parties will also be able to run their own ads through their applications, and retain all revenue.
This is a complete turn around from last year when MySpace slammed companies like Photobucket who wanted to make money through the popular social network.
