Greetings Developers,
 
DevJam starts today at 10:00 AM PST!
 
For those developers that aren’t able to attend the devJam in person, you can watch it live! Tune in to http://www.myspace.com/devjam2009 for all the details.

With this, we are excited to announce UStream’s implementation of MySpaceID – props to the team for an awesome implementation!
 
You can interact with fellow developers in real time as you watch the devJam. Chats will also appear as status updates back on MySpace and you can check out the profiles of other developers watching the sessions.  I encourage all of you to check out the devJam and this exciting new implementation of MySpaceID – It’s a great example of what MySpaceID can do and hints at what’s to come.

Also, we have another exciting announcement: Zynga will be presenting a case study on monetization.

You won't want to miss this!

Sign in, watch the devJam, and join the conversation! 

Coming in person? We can't wait to meet you. Hope to see you there or see you online.

Lauren Kozak, Social Media Director for Britney Spears, recently stopped by our San Francisco offices and shared her views about how corporations can use social media to grow their brands and engage with customers in meaningful ways.

We enjoyed her talk so much that we videotaped some of her advice to share with you.

Lauren’s advice is the real thing – it not only comes from her current experience creating social media success for one of the biggest brands in the world, but also from her pre-Britney Spears work as a social media advisor to corporations when the medium was still in its infancy.

We hope you find Lauren’s insights helpful. Let us know what you think!

Greetings Developers,

A quick heads up, we need to take care of some routine maintenance tomorrow tonight. During this time, apps may be disabled and the developer site may be inaccessible. his planned outage starts at aprox 9:00PM tonight (PST) and will last aprox 2-3 hours. Expect downtime between 9:00PM – 12:00AM (PST).

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Rhonda

We're happy to announce that we've just released the final piece of app notifications. You can now send app notifications directly from an OAuth REST end point. The REST end point allows you to pass in up to one thousand (1000) recipients at a time making it ideal for mass messaging communications to users of your app. This method also allows you to send notifications on a true server-to-server basis which is not initiated by a user action.

The general notifications page can be found in the developer Wiki. Documentation for the REST end point can be found here.

Enjoy!

Greetings Developers!
