Just a day after Google [launched](http://hypebot.typepad.com/hypebot/2007/11/googles-launche.html?ref=hypebot.com) OpenSocial, MySpace has joined the effort to make widgets and other applications usable across multiple social networking platforms. With 110 million users worldwide, top ranked MySpace joins a list of OpenSocial adopters that includes SixApart/Typepad, Bebo, Friendster, LinkedIn,  
Orkut, Salesforce, XING, Hi5, Plaxo, Viadeo, and Oracle. Notably missing from the list are Facebook, Yahoo and Microsoft.

For marketers of music, OpenSocial drastically simplifies the job of creating and updating viral widgets and apps that work across the web. Developers  
including iLike, Flixter, and [Slide](http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=6824&ref=hypebot.com) agree and are already producing widgets in the new format.

"OpenSocial is going to become the de facto standard instantly out of the gates. It is going to have a reach of 200 million users, which is way bigger than anything else out there," Chris DeWolfe, chief executive and co-founder of MySpace, [told](http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071101/tc%5Fnm/google%5Fmyspace%5Fdc%5F2?ref=hypebot.com) reporters. Google and MySpace said they had been working together on the project for more than a year.
