Playlist.com Launches Video Playlist on MySpace

The Playlist.com music video playlist application allows MySpace users to access free music videos from the top musical artists in the world and create music playlists with just a few clicks. The user can then post the playlist on their MySpace profile and share their musical tastes with friends and visitors who view their page.

MySpace first introduced their Developer Platform site on February 5, 2008 beginning a one month application development period allowing companies including Playlist.com, time to build and test their applications in a secure environment before going live to the MySpace community.

On March 13, 2008, MySpace launched the public beta of the Application Gallery (http://apps.myspace.com), enabling broader testing of approved applications by allowing public installation. MySpace members can now discover and add new applications from a variety of categories, including Video Playlists, to both their home and profile pages.

"Bringing music video playlists to MySpace will enhance the user's ability to share content and create new social connections based on common interest," said Jeremy Riney, CEO, Playlist.com. "The application was offered as a way to create and share self defining media on MySpace, which is arguably the greatest personal broadcast medium ever created."

As with all MySpace Developer Platform applications, Playlist.com will be able to safely access publicly available profile information including a user's friend list, interests, photos & albums, video, as well as status & mood. The Video Playlist Application will have real estate in five places within MySpace including:

    -- A MySpace application profile (users can "friend" the apps)
    -- Access to embed applications on the user homepage (inward facing-for
       you to see)
    -- Access to embed applications on profiles (outward facing widget-for
       friends to see)
    -- An application gallery listing
    -- A canvas page

"We are committed to lowering the barrier to entry for developers around the world to build a more collaborative and dynamic Internet," said Kyle Brinkman, vice president and general manager, MySpace Developer Platform. "MySpace developers are creating innovative applications that empower our members to take control of their online presence in new and exciting ways."
