MySpace, owned by News Limited, have just launched ”MySpace Events, a
calendar and ticketing platform that allows artists and fans to create
and share events. Each event appears inside the user’s MySpace
calendar, including any from Facebook thanks to a growing
implementation of Facebook Connect; and they can be shared on their
MySpace Stream, Facebook pages, on Twitter, and via tiny url.“

Interesting aspects of this are as follows:

1.The strategy is based on less of an island and opening doors to
other sites and networks
2.MySpace Events allows linking to third party ticketing which is
interesting given that another member of the News Limited family
Moshtix has just licenced AudienceView software. So we could see
another major entry to ticketing and related services.
