MyspaceIM was the official instant messaging client for the social networking site MySpace.

In 2009, a web-based client dubbed MySpaceIM for Web[2] was released to all English-speaking countries, allowing users to interact with friends and non-friends alike to grow their network. Both the desktop and web-based clients can be used to communicate between friends over a common IM network.

Features

[edit]

MySpaceIM integrates several features into the IM. Currently, these are the features included:

  • Basic instant messaging to other Myspace users.
  • Shortcuts to Myspace.com features and profiles.
  • Imports friends from Myspace into your contacts list in MySpaceIM.
  • Instant alerts for all requests, messages, and comments.
  • Switchable conversation views, such as: traditional IM, with pictures, or with cartoon-like balloons.
  • Skinnable interface.
  • Shareable custom backgrounds in message windows.
  • Built-in avatar picture cropping.
  • Custom emoticons.
  • Custom "Zaps". (Zaps is a combination of a sound bite, picture, and/or words.)
  • Voice calls with MySpaceIM users and Skype native client users.
  • Voice calls to and from regular phones.

Protocol

[edit]

MySpaceIM uses a proprietary text-based protocol developed by Myspace. Messages are sent as lists of key/value pairs, separated by backslashes. Logging in involves a challenge/response protocol using the SHA-1 hash function and RC4.

Although no official documentation is available, an unofficial MySpaceIM protocol specification[3] has been produced as part of the effort to implement the protocol in Pidgin.

There was also a very rough .NET implementation of the MySpaceIM protocol.[4]

Compatibility

[edit]

In November 2006, Cerulean Studios announced their support in MySpaceIM through the upcoming release of Trillian Astra.

In August 2007, eBuddy announced [5] support for MySpaceIM through their beta web version.

During September 2007, the Pidgin project development team incorporated MyspaceIM support developed through work by Jeff Connelly[6] with the Google Summer of Code. MySpaceIM support appears in the 2.2.0 release of libpurple, enabling MySpaceIM support in Pidgin v2.2.0 and Adium v1.1.3.[7]
