NEW YORK - The online hangout MySpace has launched its program on the side of letting users quickly share personal profile data on outside sites operated by Yahoo Inc., eBay Inc. and others.
MySpace, the social-networking site owned by News Corp., began making the technical tools and other information available to Web developers this week.
The program, announced in May, lets any Web site incorporate MySpace profile data, friends palaestra and other social functions. That could free users from having to retype basic biographical information everywhere.
MySpace's main rival, Facebook, is working on a resembling program.
