MySpace Now Available For All Mobile Users
This post was published 2 years 1 month 27 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.Social network addicted mobile users can now enjoy surfing MySpace from their cellphones without the need of a special customized application or service provider.
Fox Interactive Media, which oversees News Corp.’s Internet properties, said it also plans to roll out versions of FoxSports.com, the gaming site IGN, AskMen and its local TV affiliates in the coming months that will work on cell phones that can access the Internet.
The company said it also plans to offer a mobile version of its Photobucket picture sharing site in coming months.
The company already offers premium, subscription-based versions of MySpace through AT&T Inc. and Helio wireless services. Those versions include special features integrated into specific handsets, such as uploading cell phone photos directly to a user’s profile page.
The new version set to launch Monday will work on all U.S. carriers and will allow users to send and receive messages and friend requests, comment on pictures, post bulletins, update blogs, and find and search for friends.
Will this impact anyone? I’ve noticed more of a social shift from MySpace (and its HORRIFIC layouts) to FaceBook. Which social service do you use?
I have both, but I choose not to use my MySpace one too much. Facebook (even after it became open registration) is a much better service.
The whole “aesthetic of ugly” which predominates myspace user pages keeps me away. I use Facebook (although ever since they added plugins, it’s getting pretty damn ugly too).
Myspace is what geocities was back in the 90s
Don’t even attempt to view this on your iPhone. You have to zoom in on every single page.
@ Nick: Ditto.
ha yea nick nailed it
I for one love it when people try to base economic growth on animated gifs
Bebo!
I have myspace as well but I don’t use it as much.
