I just got back from the morning session of the Myspace Dev Jam at their San Francisco office. The short summary is — their platform is not yet ready to go live, but is getting there quickly. They still do not have a date for the launch to the users, but expect to make an announcement “shortly” (possibly next week at the next meetup at their offices on 5th).

I think after Facebook, Myspace is probably going to be the most exciting one to develop to for the developer community. That said, their history of not working with the widget developers and actually coming out with their own products to compete with the popular widgets on their site indicates the wrong kind of DNA that one would want in the platform company. It came out somewhat in one of today’s questions as well — when asked about the ability to upload photos to the developer sites from within the canvas pages, they were somewhat puzzled we even wanted that ability. Posting forms from within canvas pages in Myspace (and opensocial in general) is going to be an issue for some time too. That said, Myspace is the biggest social networking site online, and has a huge presence in the US. That by itself makes it exciting.
