While MySpaceID employs a number of powerful features for your site, two in particular are extremely meaningful: a simple user login and a streamlined process to push content into the MySpace stream. Qype, a pan-European local review site, often called “The European Yelp,” recently integrated with MySpaceID in order to leverage Single-Sign On and Activity Publishing.
Qype uses the MySpaceID log in flow and pulls in user’s data to pre-fill a user’s Qype account:
MySpaceID simplifies and encourages users to login, and guarantees quality user data for Qype.

Once a user fully registers, Qype can publish their reviews into MySpace - providing unique and interesting content in the MySpace Stream- and driving traffic back to Qype

Happy coding,

One of the great things about working here at MySpace is that we believe in open content distribution.
As you may have noticed during the past month, we’ve made significant strides in establishing MySpace as a test bed for innovation among the developer community with the rollout of our Qizmt computing framework, MySpaceID integrations with Tweetdeck and Windows Live among others, and the most recent Twitter sync functionality.
Today, we’re adding another enhancement to our list of MySpaceID offerings, our MySpaceID Javascript library (JSL).
In this initial launch the MySpaceID JSL will enable your site to:The first two sites to use the MySpaceID functionality are Daily Fill and Redux, making it easy for users to securely bring content experiences from those sites to MySpace to share with friends. Both serve as popular forms of entertainment among users and align with our ongoing efforts to enhance the social entertainment experience.
Here’s a screenshot of the new experience on Redux:
Here’s what an activity from Daily Fill looks like in the user activity stream:
Code Sample: Here is a easy to follow example of how to raise activities and make OpenSocial calls with MySpaceID JSL: Example Usage
Given our commitment to open standards, such as OpenID, OAuth, Portable Contacts, OpenSocial, and Activity Streams (all used to create MySpaceID), the ability to allow users to bring in external content was a natural progression for us and we’re excited to see how users respond. As we continue to help set the standard for open authentication on the web, MySpace users can expect to see integrations with many more of their favorite destinations around the Web.
To keep you posted on cool sites integrating with MySpaceID, we launched a new page dedicated to highlighting featured implementations where you can link your MySpace account. Check it out here: http://www.myspace.com/myspaceid.
Visit these earlier company blog posts for more information about our initiatives to further promote open content distribution through collaborations syncing with Twitter, Windows Live and Tweetdeck, in addition to the recent open-sourcing of Qizmt and MSFast.
We are pleased to announce our full support of OpenSocial 0.9 today. Last week we gave you a sneak peek of our OpenSocial 0.9 support by launching our photo API. This week we’re taking it one step further: we’re releasing all of our current OpenSocial 0.9 REST APIs as a public BETA. Here at MySpace we are committed to open standards, and will continue to support community driven protocols like OpenSocial. We’re very excited to take this big step to support OpenSocial 0.9!
Our OpenSocial 0.9 implementation was built on an entirely new framework with three main goals in mind for developers: stability, performance and compliance to the OpenSocial 0.9 specification. These three goals will yield more consistent results, fewer errors, and means that your code should be even more portable to other social networks that support OpenSocial.
While we’re labeling this as a BETA we feel our APIs are in a very solid state and are ready for widespread use.
The PHP and C# SDKs have been fully updated to use all of the new 0.9 APIs we have available. The other SDKs are currently being updated for your use.
Documentation for all the API’s can be found below. In addition to the wikis we’ve started to update the community supported SDKs found at opensocial.org. As always, make sure to review our Terms of Use, especially Section 10.2, before you start using the new endpoints.
Happy coding!
Today we’re pleased to roll out the OpenSocial 0.9 Media Item and Album endpoints, which allows you to upload photos to MySpace and perform other photo and video related functions using MySpaceID and OpenSocial Apps.
This new endpoint was built from the ground up with an eye on performance. It should add some nice gains in terms of stability and performance over the old API and you should start seeing fewer errors, especially during the upload process.
To allow you to start really digging into it we’ve created a couple of wiki pages that should help you get up and running.
http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=OpenSocial_v0.9_Albums
http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=OpenSocial_0.9_MediaItems
Another quick way to get started consuming the new photo functionality are the SDKs. There is a list of community supported SDKs linked to by the OpenSocial Foundation’s official website that we are helping to update for 0.9:
http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Client_Libraries
We’ve completed the PHP and C# SDKs, so you can check the individual SDK sites for further details.
For Adobe AIR applications that use MySpaceID, we also have an AS3 SDK, which can be found at:
http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=Category:MySpaceID_SDK_for_ActionScript_3
This SDK only uses 0.9 for photos. The rest of the SDK methods use the 0.8 REST APIs until we release broader 0.9 support.
Before you start using the new photo endpoints, we ask that you review our Terms of Use, specifically Section 10.2:
We are excited to announce a MySpaceID integration with TweetDeck, a personal browser for staying in touch with what’s happening now, connecting you with your friends on MySpace and other social networks – all in one place.
The MySpaceID integration with TweetDeck lets you stay in touch with everything that's happening on MySpace sorted with columns for status and moods, comments on your profile and your friends' activity stream, including playlists, photos, events, videos, apps and more. You can receive notifications to make sure you don’t miss a thing.
With this integration you can keep your finger on the pulse of MySpace in TweetDeck as well as:
• Update your status and mood from TweetDeck.
• Stay in touch and see your Friends’ Status and Mood easily.
• View photos, events, videos and more in Friends’ Activity Stream column.
• Preview MySpace photos and albums.
• Keep an eye on your profile with the ‘My Comments’ column.
Let us know what you think of this integration and happy connecting! For more information and to download it for free, visit www.myspace.com/tweetdeck and http://tweetdeck.com.
