MySpace Real Time Search API Now Live on Google

February 16, 2010 -- MySpace Co-President Mike Jones, posted this on his blog regarding MySpace results appearing in real-time Google search queries: In December, Google announced plans to implement the MySpace Real-Time Search API, which would push publicly available updates from our users to Google in real-time. The implementation is now LIVE on Google and we couldn't be more excited to be the first social networking platform to light up real-time integration with Google.

Myspace mock of the search query results on Google for “Valentine’s Day”: In addition to the Google search results users are used to seeing, the MySpace Real Time API services a stream of status updates, blog posts, and other publically available data to Google. The Google user then receives a live snapshot of all the chatter surrounding any subject on MySpace.

Empowering our audience to share, discover and showcase content – whether it's music, movies or games – is core to the MySpace experience. This partnership increases our users’ ability to share and showcase content across the open Web and gives people outside the MySpace network even more ways to discover new content.

Beginning today, when you search for anything on Google, as part of your search results you will see live updates from MySpace users, including news, photos, and blog posts that they have chosen to publically publish. Further, all of these updates will be ranked to reflect the freshest, most relevant results, making it easier to find the latest information on anything you're searching for on Google, including the music and artists you enjoy most.
