MySpace opens APIs
Following in the footsteps of Facebook, one of its toughest competitors, MySpace announced Wednesday plans to open its platform for developers to build applications on top of the popular social networking site.Facebook, which opened its API to developers in April, has seen 100,000 developers deliver 6,000 applications on the site since then.
Chris DeWolfe, co-founder and CEO of MySpace, announced during the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco Wednesday that within the next few months MySpace will be opening its platform to all developers.
"We are going to create a sandbox for two million beta users and our developers," DeWolfe said. "The idea there is to make sure the applications are safe and secure and pass a certain level of value to get on the site. We expect the majority of these applications will make it onto MySpace."
