Silicon Valley: After passing almost a year filled with rumours, MySpace has accepted that it has lost it in the social networking race and its useless in trying to catch up. Thus, in order to save the website, MySpace along with Facebook announced in a press conference about the enabling of a Facebook button on the MySpace homepage. 'Mashup', as it's called, with Facebook feature enables personalization and sharing features on the website. This move made by MySpace is quite significant as it has finally acknowledged Facebook to be the ruling king of the social networking sites and because of the new feature, there are chances that Facebook can bring back the social networking frenzy people in a fair amount to MySpace. Facebook is very much capable of creating a huge new audience and has the potential to boost MySpace's number significantly with its new feeds being the extreme source of news and entertainment. "We are thrilled to further our collaboration with Facebook through Mashup with Facebook," Mike Jones, CEO of MySpace, said in a statement. "This new feature is a great illustration of our strategy around social entertainment and enabling the real-time stream. The stream is one of our most popular features on MySpace, and it is now delivering an even richer entertainment experience of relevant content for our users to enjoy. "I'm particularly excited because so many people will be able to have the immediate satisfaction of enjoying their own entertainment program that they have customized themselves as well as connecting to all their passions and to the MySpace community at large." Same as Facebook, MySpace has plans to bring out 'Like' buttons for the content like music and videos which will be shared back to facebook. MySpace is currently playing safe; they just need to continue the same way by getting their content strategy correct.
