MySpace’s 200 million users can now use their MySpace IDs on other OpenID places such as Google and Yahoo. However, MySpace still has yet to accept the OpenIDs of other sites. Meaning I can’t access MySpace with a Yahoo OpenID.
This may change. The sooner, the better.

Wait, is Open ID the same thing as MySpace's Data Availability?
No. Data Availability, launched last week, is MySpace’s effort to tear down the wall that makes them a walled garden. They’re actually allowing data out of its server vault. Third parties can’t store that data, so MySpace retains ultimate control of it.
So what’s Facebook up to?
They’re trying to become more like Friendfeed, letting their members bring in third party data to their Facebook pages. However, they should be launching Facebook Connect this week, which is designed to let users get that data back out of Facebook.
Facebook did just launch a new look.
Facebook is now giving ads greater prominence through new display units launched as part of the home page and member profile redesign.
