MySpace Platform Now Live
After months of anticipation, the MySpace Platform launched today, bringing applications to MySpace users for the first time.
In an intentional “soft launch” of the MySpace Platform using the OpenSocial 0.6 standard, the top 10 applications reached about 12,000 total installations in their first day. About 200 applications have already been approved and appear in the MySpace Application Directory.
In addition to canvas page and profile box real estate, MySpace apps also get real estate on the home page: both an app list under the welcome module and app boxes further down the left rail. However, notification and request channels will not be live for at least a couple of weeks.
A big congratulations is in order for the entire MySpace Developer Team!

Yes – congratulations to the MySpace Application Developer Team!
Of interest now will be monitoriing the number of FB application duplications that will pop up in MySpace OpenSocial.
Will the FB applications prove as popular with the rusted-on MySpace user?
