MySpace Activity Streams

MySpace made available their activity streams api on February 25th, 2009 to a group of small partners. Yahoo! was their first partner going live on March 3rd, 2009.

On March 25th, 2009 MySpace opened up the activity stream to all developers. To consume the stream you can use a MySpaceID or Opensocial app. Details at http://developer.myspace.com  and documentation at: http://developerwiki.myspace.com/index.php?title=Standards_for_Activity_Streams 

SDKs are at: http://code.google.com/search/#q=myspaceid
