Facebook and MySpace announce data sharing agreement

In one of the more confusing announcements of the day, Facebook and MySpace made a joint announcement today that the two �competing� sites will now be sharing data. This �Mashup� will allow people to import their likes and interests from their Facebook accounts to their MySpace accounts with "a simple one-click set-up."

Why Facebook would exactly do this is kind of a mystery; you could call MySpace a direct competitor to Facebook if MySpace�s place in the social networking limelight hadn�t fizzled out a long time ago. The ability to �Like� someone on Facebook and get hooked up with their MySpace account info doesn�t really appeal since most likely their last sign in date will have been in 2008 or so. Most people, including me, are figuring this is MySpace�s last ditch effort at a return to relevance; hopefully this is an option that can be completely bypassed.
