MySpace News Feeds, Coming to a Profile Near You

Newsfeeds. Everybody’s got them, and MySpace wants them too. You’ll find them added to your account in the next month or so, alerting you to all of your friends’ activities. This isn’t the only time MySpace has moved to better emulate Facebook, which seems to have all the right moves when it comes to engaging users and promoting useless information.

Today’s announcement from Fox Interactive Media President Peter Levinsohn includes other changes that MySpace will be making to its social network, including profile privacy settings that let you create multiple profiles so you can “change faces” according to friends, family and business, something that several other social networks like Friendster are considering as well. This was all hinted at with MySpace’s set of rather significant updates that were mentioned a nearly two months ago, taking MySpace in the same direction as so many other social networks out there–towards the path of Facebook.

The other big announcement from Fox Interactive today is in regards to the expansion of its new ad network, which will now incorporate the entire Murdoch online media empire for advertising options to online marketers.
