MySpace on Monday announced the release of Sync with Facebook, a feature that will let MySpace users sync their updates with Facebook.

The feature will also let users share content like games, music, videos, links, and photos on both social-networking sites.

"This new sync functionality is part of an ongoing effort to make it simple for people to share their updates beyond MySpace and allow fans and friends to interact with that content across the Web," Jen Ruffner, director of MySpace's stream product, wrote in a blog post.

If a user adds a game on MySpace, for example, it will show up in their Facebook news feed as well. If someone clicks on the link within Facebook, they will be directed to the game's profile page on MySpace, which will be accessible to users who are logged in, as well as those who are not.

"At launch we are syncing game install activity, but are working to sync more gaming related activities with the Facebook stream," Ruffner wrote.

MySpace said the feature will be especially useful for artists "who can now use this tool as a complement to their MySpace Music presence and share their vast library of content, including full album catalogs, to people who've liked their Facebook Page."

To activate, visit www.myspace.com/guide/sync. MySpace updates will then be shared on Facebook. MySpace also offers the ability to sync your Twitter account to the site.

My Experience

I started out covering tech policy in DC for The National Journal, where my beat included state-level tech news and all the congressional hearings and FCC meetings I could handle. I later covered Wall Street trading tech before switching gears to consumer tech. I now lead PCMag's news coverage.

My Areas of Expertise

Getting my start in DC means I still have a soft spot for tech policy; Congressional hearings can sometimes be as entertaining as a Bravo reality show, for better or worse. But PCMag is all about the technology we use every day, as well as keeping an eye out for the trends that will shape the industry in the years ahead (or flop on arrival). I've covered the rise of social media, the iOS vs. Android wars, the cord-cutting revolution that's now left us with hefty streaming bills, and the effort to stuff artificial intelligence into every product you could imagine. This job has taken me to CES in Vegas (one too many times), IFA in Berlin, and MWC in Barcelona. I also drove a Tesla 1,000 miles out west as part of our Best Mobile Networks project. Of late, my focus is on our hard-working team of reporters at PCMag, guiding and editing their robust coverage.
