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]
