MySpace is now providing an easier way for publishers to help users spread their content virally.
They’ve set up a “Post to MySpace” button that essentially just runs a snippet of JavaScript that sends some content to a user’s MySpace profile page. The snippet takes four parameters: a title, some content, a URL, and the location in the user’s profile page to post the content (in their “about me” section or on their bulletin board, for example).
We’ve set up a button below with which you can send a TechCrunch link to your MySpace profile page.
This button is similar to the Flux fshare button that we previously wrote about.
Great. More crap on MySpace.
Good try.
REMINDER: FLUX IS ONLY MENTIONED BECAUSE HEATHER “TECHCRUNCH CEO” HARDE HAS RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE LA BIG MEDIA BIGWIGS WHO RUN THE OPERATION.
MORE PEOPLE USE GIGYA, WIDGETBOX, CLEARSPRING ET. AL TO POST WIDGET CONTENT.
Link’s broken dude.
Thanks TechCrunch for linking to MySpace profile
AC: ahhhh that explains the bogus flux posts lately suggesting that turkeys can fly
…so now you’re covering the release of javascript snippets? are there any other super hot bookmarklets or ‘click to add’ buttons that you could cover? this is HOT stuff!
My Space is an interesting social site interesting, but, lack to develop certain applications. Right now, Facebook is more interesting!
great, how do you get it and set it up
@JackMayhoffer: Check my blog past 3 posts.
I’ve had a go at hacking the code into browser buttons that’ll allow you to blog on MySpace or post a MySpace bulletin any page you like.
