Various social networking site users can now freely share content

A new deal between social networking sites such as Twitter, eBay, Photobucket, MySpace and Yahoo! will mean that any user having a MySpace profile can now easily share content with any of the web sites. That includes popular elements, such as photos, public profile information, video, friends’ lists, and of course, text.

MySpace claims that their new initiative ‘throws open the doors to traditionally closed and guarded networks by putting the users in the driver’s seat and in charge of their data as well as web identity’. Chief operating officer Amit Kapur stated:

This is an unprecedented move for further socialising the Web and empowering users to be in control of their online content and personal data.

At the moment eBay, Photobucket, Twitter and Yahoo! have signed up, but Mr DeWolfe states that he looks forward to other web sites coming on board, comprising ‘mom and pop’ sites and their main rival, Facebook.

This project is going to be open to any web site out there that wishes to work with us. We are also happy to work with Facebook if they wish to join up with our effort.
