#22 Is Myspace following Facebook in Application Development API?

By Bruce C

We were following the application development API for Myspace. The Myspace Developer Platform (MDP) seems intuitive enough and allows Myspace members to easily add those applications to their Myspace pages.

The MDP has a nice splash page as well and features Myspace applications every single day. With almost 25 categories in which to place your application, you really can develop an entire suite of Myspace applications for comedians, musicians, and more. The page I am looking at now features a Family Tree, Family Guy application, Texas Hold Em, and a Travel application called Where have I Been?

I have not gotten too much into the MDV as of yet, but when I do, I will surely develop an application or two and let you know how the process is. So far, from a quick glance, I like Myspace’s Rest API section that allows web developers to access their own web page from Rest (Representational State Transfer) connections and uses two flavors Low Rest and High Rest. It uses HTML GET, POST, PUTs, and GETs, which allow you to access elements of your web site over XML or JSON.

Using Google’s new open social API os what the Myspace Developer Platform is created on. So, Myspace developers will need to join iGoogle first and learn the basics of Open Social.

Using MDV, you can write applications for your Myspace friends, groups, and more. Give it a try.
