MySpace Announces OpenSocial 0.8 Support “Soon”
Two weeks after hi5 announced support for OpenSocial 0.8 in its developer sandbox, the MySpace Developer Platform team today announced in its platform Release Notes that support for OpenSocial 0.8 apps on the MySpace platform is “coming soon.” What that means exactly date-wise remain to be seen, as MySpace has generally taken the “take things slow and release later” approach on most things platform related so far.
OpenSocial 0.8 is important for developers because it’s the first time OpenSocial has included a spec for building apps using REST APIs, decreasing the need for developers to use and maintain complex JavaScript.

I have to be honest, this Myspace apps thing… is a disaster in my opinion.
They look like absolute CRAP on people’s pages and slows the websites down. At least Facebook is looks more organized. Myspace simply looks like a mess trying to copy Facebook… there should be a different tab or something for such applications – they seem to have it all wrong.
