MySpace Instant Messenger

MySpace, the most popular social networking website has launched its own instant messenger — MySpaceIM.

MySpaceIM

MySpaceIM features

It is for MySpace members only.

  • Instant messaging with your MySpace friends
  • One-click login to MySpace mail, bulletins, and more
  • Instant alerts for all MySpace requests, messages, and comments
  • Find and view your MySpace friends’ profiles

My two cents

MySpaceIM’s simple user interface looks like Google Talk. Not sure that MySpaceIM is using standard or its own developed IM protocol. We have too many instant messengers, it is about time to merge them all together.

  • tre
    i want it
  • Mary
    I wish IM on MySpace was set up for Mac users as well. There are numerous people that are Mac and MySpace users. It seems to me that it would boost MySpace just a bit considering how many Mac users and lovers are out there. You guys should make it happen!!!!!!!!
  • Rob
    I use a Mac and I have been looking for a Myspace IM for mac's for the longest time and I kinda feel a little left out but hopfully this message with have myspace creators have one build. Its really hard to talk to people how you like and your friends. i hope this message with do something good towards this problem.
    thank you.

  • Robert
    Whats up with the myspace im for mac? I know it doesn't take this long to design a softwear program to work with mac. They need to get on the ball!
  • Nathan
    i agree with jennifer
  • guess the reason that there is no im for mac in myspace!!

    is probably that myspace is part of microsoft!! and they like seing mac users suffer:(

  • steve
    i would rather stick ared hot needle in my eye than get *** vista ,
    when are we going to see myspace im for mac
  • Paul Days
    Same here...want MySpace IM for Mac
  • Nate
    Yeah it would be nice if they made a client from both linux and mac since i use
    both. However I would just be satisfied if I could use an independent client like
    Pidgin (formally known as Gaim) to hook up to myspace. As far as I know there isn't
    anyway to do this, however if somebody out there does know please let me know.
    Thanks
  • Hello,

    I agree! They NEED to make a Myspace IM for Macintosh! I'm so tired of seeing "Windows" this and "Windows" that! Microsoft can go f*** it's self, and take their crappy software with them! It's all about Macintosh baby! If anyone knows WHEN or IF they're developing a Macintosh version, let me know. I'm about to write Tom right now! LOL. Thanks everyone!
  • It seems that both myspace & yahoo don't care about mac! I don't even think Tom is a friend on Steve Jobs myspace page!
  • Amanda
    I agree as well, especially with the "microsoft can go f*** itself" statement...I too am sick of everything being for windows and windows only...not everyone uses f***ing windows...
  • Danny
    I think yahoo has a Linux version.
    If there's a good (open-source) alternative for all the big IMs in one, we wouldn't have to worry about all the incompatibilities as much. Then, if Micro$haft tries to do a windows-only IM, we've got something better. (take that!)
  • Im a mac user and would love myspace im to be available for mc users we seem to be rulled out as if we are a different race or something its ridiculous all mac users unite and we shall fight for our right to have myspace im for mac!!! what do you say comrades???
  • Vanessa
    I would like to use myspace IM on my mac.
    I don't have windows XP on it so how can I get it?
    Thanks
  • Nathan
    I WANT MYSPACE FOR MAC AND I WANT IT NOW!!!
  • JAAAAAASON
    i have been using myspace im on a pc for a long time, and now i bought a mac only to find out that myspace im doesn't work with mac. this disturbes me greatly. what gives?
  • Will
    Dunno why people are getting so hung up about this, its like...so what? If Myspace don't want to release a Mac version thats fine by me, and im a Mac and Myspace user. To be honest, I don't want their nasty looking buggy software on my Mac anyway.

    There is in fact a plugin for pidgin under development: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/MySpaceIM

    So, once that plugin is stable, I would assume it will be integrated into AdiumX, which as most people will know is a port of pidgin.

    Patience is a virtue!
  • version for mac users:

I do alway chatter via MyspaceIm.
  • How do u get a myspace im i whant one they look awesome!
  • Yeah MYSPACE IM Would Be Awsome on a MAC im actually going to try to make one work some how.
  • Ashley
    yes
    i really want one for mac!
  • I also have a mac and it is very annoying not having it for the mac.
  • MS_HATE
    It would be against the interests of Bill Gates and the secret contract he's made with myspace CEO to give myspace messenger access to mac user's. Thankfully there is a program called Adium which is basically a mac equivalent chat client for Myspace IM. Support developer's who don't work for major corporations!
  • I just want you to know we are working hard at making MyspaceIM available for Mac Users. There are certain laws and permissions we must acquire prior to making the software to work. We do care about our Mac users and hope to have it available by late Feb. Thanks!

    Tom
  • I am a mac user to and if they did make a deal with windows I will hack it and make one of my own!!! SO make one or you will have a Problem!!!!!
