Slacker Radio Widget Now Available for MySpace

Slacker, the online radio provider, has launched a MySpace widget that lets you insert a radio station onto your profile.

With this widget offering, you can choose an existing station or create a custom station to play on your MySpace page. The widget will display artist info for songs it plays. One of the larger benefits is of course the ability to play a much larger selection of music on your profile than you’d otherwise have through MySpace. Read more »

Beware the dangers unblock MySpace

With more and more libraries, schools and businesses, blocking MySpace, what’s a MySpace junkie to do? Well there are ways of accessing MySpace on computers where it is blocked, but beware, it could be extremely dangerous.

With a circumventor or proxy server you type in the URL you would like to visit, but instead of the web site appearing in its own Window, it appears as content in the proxy server’s window. As far as the computer is concerned, it’s as though you’re visiting the proxy web server site, not the blocked site.

I had a look at a number of proxy web servers including Vtunnel, Poxy v1, and ProxySpin.com.

The big problem with these sites is that if they are run by unscrupulous web masters, they could be used to steal your login password. For that reason, while you could use these kinds of sites to view MySpace, I don’t recommend that you actually log into your account.

The other problem is that these sites can get blocked as well. And if you a site such as Proxy v1 starts appearing on the network logs, you can be sure that the network administrator will soon start blocking it. Some administrators block all sites containing the term network. Having said that, typing “MySpace proxy server” into Google brings up hundreds of alternatives.

“MySpace Fashion” launches

“MySpace Fashion” launches by ZDNet's Steve O'Hear -- After over a year of existing in “Beta” status, MySpace has launched a revamped version of its fashion community, dubbed “MySpace Fashion“, to co-inside with start of next week’s New York Fashion Week. As with the official MySpace communities for music and film, MySpace Fashion is hoping to build on the grassroots enthusiasm for fashion that already exists on the social networking site, and at the same time help the marketing departments of mainstream media and big brands reach those fashion conscious users.

Hacker's MySpace profile deleted

Las Vegas - By the time Rick Deacon was finished showing hackers in Las Vegas how to take over MySpace profile pages, he was evicted from the social networking website and the weakness fixed.

The United States college student uncovered a MySpace vulnerability months ago and shared his discovery at DefCon, the largest gathering of computer hackers in the world.

"In retrospect..."
"Obviously they weren't happy about it," Deacon said after he finished his presentation, checked his email and saw a message from MySpace telling him his account was deleted for "violating terms of service."

"In retrospect, I should have used a dummy account."

Deacon's attack relied on duping MySpace users into clicking rigged links, perhaps in online forums or bulletin boards, which routed them to a file that steals passwords and identifying information stored in software "cookies."

Hackers could take control of users' profiles and use them as springboards for more attacks or to infect users' computers with viruses, according to Deacon.

"It's fixed now as far as I can tell," Deacon told AFP. "I'm actually proud of them for finally patching it."

"I'm actually proud of them for finally patching it."

Deacon said he created a new MySpace account but has no plans to hunt for a new way to hack the website.

"If you talk to them, tell them I'm sorry," Deacon said. "I'll keep my new MySpace account as what it should be, a place for talking to my friends." - AFP

MySpace News: The Digg Killer?

MySpace is launching a news aggregator called MySpace News in the second quarter of 2007. It’ll rely on both algorithms and user rating - basically a combination of Google News and Digg. You’ll remember that Fox acquired the news aggregator NewRoo about a year ago, so it’s taken them a long time to get to the product stage. The feature list, via Terry Heaton:

*MySpace News takes News to a whole new level by dynamically aggregating real-time news and blogs from top sites around the Web
*Creates focused, topical news pages that users can interact and engage with throughout their day
*MySpace is making the news social, allowing users to:
-Rate and comment on every news item that comes through the system
-Submit stories they think are cool and even author pieces from their MySpace blog
* MySpace users previously had to leave the site to find comprehensive news, gossip, sporting news, etc. With MySpace News, we bring the news to them!

It’s kind of obvious when you think about it: a news company launching a news site. Not many details yet, but you can’t deny this will be a game changer. Like Google News, they’ll be aggregating news sources from around the web - that could raise the same issues that YouTube and MySpace video are facing: do the other newspapers really want News Corp to package their news? Of course they don’t.

It’ll also be interesting to see what the MySpace demographic selects as the most important news of the day: just like Digg users focus on Apple, the RIAA, Google and how awesome Digg is, we can probably expect MySpace users to talk about celebrity news and other mainstream, lowest common denominator stuff. I call this a win for the celebrity blogs, if they can seek inclusion.

Perhaps MySpace news will succeed where NooZ failed - NooZ, you’ll remember, tried to build a “Digg for MySpace users”, but failed to target the content to that demographic. I wonder if we’ll also be seeing MySpace News Widgets to post to your profile, “MySpace This” buttons, and the “MySpace effect”. Interesting develop
