Social networking giant MySpace has announced a new "Data Availability" initiative that will enable MySpace users to choose to share profile information with other Internet services like Yahoo, eBay, Photobucket, and Twitter. According to MySpace, the idea is to let users be in charge of their own Web identities—and, of course, make MySpace user profiles the central hub for managing those identities. The move marks the first time the traditionally closed-off world of social networking services has opened up its services to share public profile information with other sites.
