Comments on: MySpace 'Connects' with Google for MySpaceID

Called Data Availability in a previous life, this marks the debut of the News Corp.-owned social network's rival to the new Facebook Connect.

This is sad... I'd much rather see Google working with Facebook. The only reason I think they would go with MySpace is because people on MySpace probably do more searches for things, where as Facebook is just a way to keep in touch with friends. But the culture at MySpace is so much different from that at Google. I wish Google paid more attention to this. I think it would benefit them more in the long run.

I do not think they had much choice, Facebook seemed more interested in doing their own thing rather than working with others.

Thanks, Caroline, for this great information. I'm mainly on MySpace for socail marketing my safety and security web site and raise awareness for it's products so any news about it is of interest to me.

Although I don't require log in to shop at my store it's good to know about this feature.

Would be great if cnet supported login from MySpace, AOL, Yahoo, and Google as well as Facebook. An easy way to do that is with the integrated login solution RPX (http://rpxnow.com). You can see how it works at www.interscope.com and www.uservoice.com.
