Comments on: MySpace officially launches instant messaging service

The News Corp.-owned social network, having ditched its old browser-based IM service, formally unveils the new download after a year of buzzless beta.

One year of beta? Offficial launch? What's missing ...

Yet again Mac users don't seem to exist...
Oh well do we really care since MySpace seems to have more and
more errors showing up euach day . Guess this really means it's
time to start forgetting that Annoying Space

I second that thought

I agree and to be honest do we need another IM client. Especially based off Myspace. I'm already sick of myspace and social sites. Most profiles are littered with streaming media and photos that don't make sense. To me Myspace is just a "look at my crap" web container for the masses. The only bright spot is their music section but even that needs HUGE improvements to make finding artists easier....my 2 cents

MyspaceIM on apple!

Hey, did you know you can chat on myspaceIM with www.ebuddy.com? It's fully webbased so you can also use it with apple and linux!

How is it out of beta?

It still only works in IE and on Windows?! Ah well, there's no need
in them putting too many resources into the project anyway...I give
MySpaceIM 2 to 3 years.

any idiot can configure some im software to connect to the myspace im server.
or use adium, it makes it even easier.
