Plenty of people use Twitter to syndicate out their content — like TechCrunch, for example. And often those tweets also are syndicated out to other places — like MySpace, for example. But now you can remove one step in that process if you choose with MyFeedSync for MySpace.
This tool, developed by Egghead Ventures, with the help of developer Sean Percival, who has been advising MySpace recently, uses MySpace ID to sync any RSS feed with your MySpace status. This is similar to the tool that MySpace’s recently announced that syncs your Twitter with your status. But instead of showing a tweet with a Twitter logo, it shows a blog post title with a link, and a RSS logo. This should make it clear to people looking at your profile that you’re highlighting a post of yours rather than just linking to some piece of content you think is cool. The blog URLs are shortened with MySpace’s lnk.ms shortener.
There are also options for this tool such as setting the time interval that dictates how often it will pull in new content. And you can set an into text to put in such as “New blog post:”

Good feature. MySpace has developed some good features lately. This is why I love competition
um… twitterfeed ? rss2twitter? there’s things already doing this >.<
the problem is myspace is evil.
Why ?
This will make myspace interesting enough to bring users backNOT.
I have to agree with Clayton, myspace has become a little abstract and isn’t the best place to blog to if blogging is your business. A standard tweet when appended with a popular hashtag can be pretty viral
I simply don’t agree!
Giving a little free publicity to your friends, huh?
People still use MySpace? Seriously? What’s up with Friendster? I heard they’re… wait I haven’t heard about them in years… oh hello MySpace!
OK I admit I stumble into MySpace once a month or so when looking for something like concerts or band information, MySpace is little more than an online music portal for up and coming bands nowadays.
