MySpace To Use Google Gears

MySpace has announced plans to integrated Google Gears with their social networking platform.

He did talk about the new music service launching this month that will partner with the major labels, offer free streaming, and include some original content from its audience of 120 million members. DeWolfe said that MySpace is very focused on making the new service a success, with more than 70 people, including top MySpace management, working on the project. He was asked if Amazon was providing the downloading capabilities, but declined to answer. MySpace has a strong music foundation, and may be able to make some inroads into the Apple/iTunes territory.

The feature won’t be available for a few months, but when it is, MySpace members will be able to update their profiles using Google Gears.
