I haven’t used MySpace in a while now and as far as I am concerned it’s not really that relevant anymore, but back when it was still pretty active one of my biggest pet peaves was that there wasn’t really a good way to update your MySpace status from Twitter, or Vice-versa. There were some applications out there but they would only allow you to update Twitter from Facebook, and of course most users would need exactly the opposite of that.
Today I saw on Twitter’s Tumblr blog that MySpace finally got Twitterized. What this means is that there is finally a stable application out there that will allow you to update your MySpace status via Twitter or update your Twitter status from within MySpace. Here’s some info they had posted on their blog today…
There are tens of thousands of mobile, desktop, and web applications creating a variety of ways to interact with Twitter on your favorite device or service. We think people should read or write tweets wherever they prefer so we work with social networks, mobile networks, television networks, and search engines to make that happen. This week, fans of MySpace have started taking their @usernames with them by syncing their accounts with Twitter.
When you sync your MySpace account with Twitter, you’ll be able to update your status as you normally would from your home page, status and mood page, or mobile phone. When you update your status on MySpace it will also update Twitter—and, the reverse is true. We’re already seeing many accounts syncing up and we expect more to follow. Kudos to Ryan Sarver and the Twitter platform team for helping to get this worked out with our friends at MySpace.
