Unype MySpace’d

3:03AM EST received the ‘Welcome to MySpace developers program’ message. Dived in, massaged the Unype OpenSocial application and by 3:30AM EST the Unype MySpace application was up and running:

Unype MySpace application

First thoughts:
MySpace definitely came out much more prepared, they have very useful tools but unfortunately everything feels very clunky, the documentation doesn’t match the actual outcome, registering the app keeps on throwing errors ‘that are reported to technical support’ with no other explanation. The test harness is first-grade though, no more edit/upload/reload while developing an application.
There is also some funny business when you register your new application, MySpace forces you to create another MySpace account that requires a different email, but then that new account does not have access to the application. I guess it is for testing, and if so, a very thoughtful gesture since all Facebook developers are always clamoring to keep their secondary accounts from getting canceled by Facebook.
Unype MySpace app is ready in under 30 minutes for the March roll-out.
