Social Browser Flock to add MySpace Features
The recently revealed MySpace platform might not fill the average MySpace fan with excitement given that it mainly targets developers, but fear not, Flock, the social web browser, plans to take care of the details.
Flock, which uses the same Mozilla core as Firefox, has announced that it plans to integrate with MySpace using the new MySpace Developer Platform. Although the new features haven’t made their way into Flock just yet, the company showed off a demo earlier this week when MySpace released the details surrounding its new platform.
Although details are few right now, it seems safe to assume that Flock’s new MySpace People, as the feature is known, will be similar to the existing Facebook features which were developed using the Facebook Platform.
If MySpace People does indeed mirror the Facebook features, expect MySpace to be added to your sidebar panel, giving you away to track your friends while you surf the web. Given that the MySpace Platform offers access to user’s photo and video uploads we can probably expect those streams to find their way into Flock’s media browser element as well.
For a complete overview of all the features and social sites you can interact with via Flock, check out our coverage of Flock 1.0. We’ll be sure to take Flock for another test drive when the MySpace features arrive.
