Myspace is launching an Instant Messenger service.
- MySpace Messenger account with your own MySpace UserName!
- IM your MySpace friends anytime!
- One-click login to your mail, blogs, and more!
- Get instant notification for add requests, messages, and comments!
- Find and view your friends’ profiles with one click!
- It’s FREE! And more features coming soon!
According to Digg, the client is from GTV. I’ve been using iChat to connect to a EU Jabber server that bridges MSN Yahoo AOL ICQ and a few other protocols. Works but kludgy. Friday, I installed Adium, which connects to all of these and more and is totally skinnable and customizable. IChat has been removed from my Dock for good, unless I’m videoconferencing with someone, which won’t be necessary as soon as Skype has video for the Mac. I’m flummoxed why Myspace would try to brand it’s own IM, granted I’m not sure if it will talk to other networks like AOL Yahoo and MSN, we’ll see.

Didn’t Myspace once use Userplane? I wonder why they stopped. Probably scalability issues.
They actually still use Userplane :)! We are building some new features to do some interesting things which should be released soon – and currently they have our Chat running. The Userplane web-based IM for them has been down for a month due to some changes on their end but we are working on getting it back up asap!
