Realizing that it’s better to swim with the stream than against it, MySpace has just turned on two-way sync with Twitter. MySpace status updates can now be sent to Twitter and shared with all of your followers there, and Twitter updates can appear in your MySpace activity stream as well (blog post).
Members of both services can connect their accounts using OAuth. Status updates from MySpace are then identified as being “from MySpace” in your Twitter stream, as if though it were another Twitter client, with a link back to MySPace. Members can choose either one-way (read-only) or two-way syncing.
A couple weeks ago, AOL made its AIM lifestream go both ways with Twitter (and Facebook) as well. So we are definitley seeing a trend here.
Should MySpace start letting you post your status updates to Facebook as well?

Do you need to???
as already mentioned you can sync twitter to facebook 2way already so, you just set up your myspace to sync to twitter and your twitter to sync to facebook and then one update will update all three..
Good for Myspace, but who really uses Myspace anymore? Our new social network is in process to do the same. We recently added Tokbox video chat http://bit.ly/1lxEdJ
Hmm. Where did this Knoyce.com come from? It does look better than Myspace.
Looks like it was made with Drupal or something
whoopti crap – it’s a Ning network… NEXT!
I was searching for a guide on how to sync MySpace and Twitter, and here I found this excellent guide on How To sync you MySpace and Twitter: http://digitizo...er-and-myspace/
Users outside USA can also use this feature, here is a top from DIgitizor: http://digitizo...r-non-us-users/
Good work MySpace
Finally!
Nice Post,
Twitter is clearly becoming the single site to merge all status to… and that is good news for those of us that like twitter
I totally agree with you Ceri, twitter is the new Social cloud!!
Good news !
This might be a win for Twitter as well because it will engage & build trust with the younger crowd. Until now, most research showed that that demographic was had not adopted to Twitter much.
haha myspace, yeah that.
Glad to see it! Score one for MySpace over Facebook.
About time!
Nice!
myspace is still around? really?
and how exactly is twitter going to make any money again? oh that’s right they have traffic! traffic = BILLIONS
bubble2.0 is a poppin’
What is the MySpace you speak of?
Hey, Cryptkeeper, don’t worry about it. The days of you needing to care about stuff like this are long gone.
People still use MySpace?
The most annoying thing is when you click on a link from a tweet and find that it leads you to the same update somewhere else.
The only thing I don’t like about MySpace-Twitter sync is that “Update my status from Twitter” pulls in all tweets, including @mentions. It’s going to mean a lot of [unwanted] noise for my MySpace friends.
Otherwise, I’m glad MySpace made this. There were a few MySpace 3rd-party developer apps out that tried to do this, but none offer to ability to post to MySpace from Twitter. So, @mentions aside, I like.
Investment forecast? thnx
Good move MySpace.
So, MySpace has decided to follow AOL’s closed-garden approach with privileged APIs.
yay
Ping.fm updates all my statuses at once – one stop shop.
Excelente noticias.
good news.
Congrats to the Activity Stream team!
How come Sharon is always on the mocks? She is way too popular because of all these TC articles. Can you put Tsega’s picture next time?
who’s that?
Too little too late in my opinion as they should have done more when they were the most popular social network! I prefer Last.fm and Spotify for music preference..
FANTASTIC!!
