MySpace lets users take profile data outside site's walls

" SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - MySpace announced Thursday it is opening the gates of its popular online community by letting users automatically transfer profile information to other social-networking websites.

MySpace said it will kick off a "data availability" project in coming weeks by letting members share profile information with Yahoo, eBay, Photobucket and Twitter and that it is open to working with arch-rival Facebook.

"The walls around the garden are coming down," said MySpace chief executive Chris DeWolfe.

"We, alongside our data availability launch partners, are pioneering a new way for the global community to integrate their social experiences Web-wide."

Social-networking website devotees are renowned for devoting vast amounts of time and energy to customizing profile pages with pictures, videos, written musings, music, and links to blogs, websites and friends."
