announcement later today (at
Facebook and MySpace sent out e-mails last night to members of the tech
community announcing the event involving MySpace CEO Mike Jones and Dan Rose, Facebook’s
VP of partnerships and platform marketing.
No word on the specifics, but rumor has it that the
partnership involves the implementation of Facebook Connect on MySpace, in an

MySpace has been struggling in recent years to compete with
Facebook, having launched a much-needed site redesign late last month.
