Yesterday MySpace launched two-way syncing with Twitter for U.S. users, something Facebook has shied away from to date.
This evening, they’ve extended the functionality to the UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and India. You can sign up for the service at myspace.com/sync.
MySpace says they’ve also got a bunch of celebrities, comedians and musicians to sync their MySpace and Twitter accounts: Lenny Kravitz, John Legend, Rachel Zoe, Margaret Cho, George Lopez, Jamie Kennedy, David Spade, Slash, Cat Deeley, Chamillionaire, Jim Gaffigan, David Alan Grier, Larry The Cable Guy, and John Witherspoon. And I’ve done it too.
What MySpace won’t tell me is how many total users have synchronized their accounts so far. Or exactly when they’ll roll out the features for the rest of the world. Soon, though, all MySpace users should be able to sync with Twitter.

Why exactly isn’t Facebook welcoming this sync feature?
this is a great way to use social media intensively integrated
As I said before, this is the right way to go.
What is needed though, is a restriction to select which Status Updates are synced with Twitter and which should be withheld.
@smohkim
I would like to know the reason, too.

Maybe you can help here?
I don’t want personal stuff from myspace showing up on twitter, thank you very much.
I agree with the above. Sometimse you don’t want the different people on different sites to know the same thing.
if you don’t want the sync option simply don’t sync it. problem solved!!!
if you don’t want twitter showing on myspace then don’t sync it. problem solved!!!
its really great for myspace and twitter users to get connected with each other. Thanks for info
