It is seriously exciting to see advances like this. Fantastic!

What I’m most interested in right now, as a non-MySpace user, is actually the OAuth implementation. Is *it* a two-way street? While MySpace now support OAuth for other sites?

And does the fact that Twitter is on the list mean it’s finally got its own OAuth implementation sorted? Or doesn’t that matter because it’s only one way?

This is a great news. Will this feed between mySpace and partners back-end be bi-directional? Like that provided by Microsoft’s FeedSync. So, a partner can both GET and POST user’s social data from/to mySpace?

Thanks,
