MySpace, which was once the largest online social network, made a dramatic attempt this summer to revive its fortunes through a major redesign of the site around entertainment, creating a place where people can get information on, share, and discuss celebrities, music, movies, and TV. In doing so, MySpace ceded to Facebook the job of providing a place for people to discuss and share the latest happening in their lives.
On Thursday, MySpace set itself up further as a complement to Facebook by letting people populate their MySpace page with the likes and interests listed on their Facebook profile, and then stream MySpace content to the page based on the Facebook information. The feature, called Mashup With Facebook is the latest example of how MySpace hopes to tap Facebook for help.
