On 21st September, MySpace launched MySpace Sync, an opt-in tool that allow users to their status updates to popular microblog service Twitter and vice versa.

Any U.S. user will be permitted by MySpace Sync to make any update made on MySpace appear on their Twitter pages. Similarly, any tweet posted to Twitter will be present within their MySpace status and mood feed. 

A well known protocol, dubbed OAuth is used by the tool. OAuth allows sharing a limited data safely across different Web sites.

MySpace senior product manager Sharon Nguyen wrote in a blog post, "At MySpace, we believe in open content distribution and want to help users socialize around content in many different places. Your status update is a quick way to tell friends what you're up to, or in to."

Nguyen explained that the reason behind creating the tool was that users, content creators, and celebrities urged MySpace that they need a simple way to share MySpace content across different Web services.
