A “Mashup with Facebook” feature being rolled out globally lets MySpace users click on a “Connect” icon to customize profiles at the News Corp.-owned social network with likes and interests shared at Facebook.
“We are thrilled to further our collaboration with Facebook,” said MySpace chief executive Mike Jones. “This new feature is a great illustration of our strategy around social entertainment and enabling the real-time stream.”
MySpace is among more than a million websites letting Facebook members extend their “social graph” at the world’s top social networking community to other parts of the Internet.
“Sharing entertainment and music interests is part of many of our friendships, online and off,” said Facebook vice president of partnerships Dan Rose.
“MySpace is giving people an easy way to bring their favorite bands, celebrities and movies from Facebook to create a personalized experience on MySpace from the start.”
Some saw the MySpace move as an admission that Facebook rules the realm of online social networking.
“MySpace is very committed to this new strategy of social entertainment,” Jones replied when asked by AFP whether Mashup constituted surrender in its rivalry with Facebook. “We think of it as complementary with Facebook.”
He and Rose said there is no financial component to the Mashup.
Mashup, a technology world term that refers to merging different software programs to create something new, builds on a Sync with Facebook feature launched a month ago.
More than a million MySpace members have adopted Sync, which enables the syncing of MySpace status updates with Facebook pages.
Jones said MySpace pages will soon be sporting “Like” buttons that members will be able to click on to share entertainment preferences with friends on Facebook.
