Myspace IM

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

In 2009, a web-based client dubbed MySpaceIM for Web 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.

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

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 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.

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

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