MySpace Music videos to appear on Facebook By RYAN NAKASHIMA (AP) – 4 days ago LOS ANGELES — Social-networking site MySpace is using its joint venture with recording companies to launch a music video service that will pop into millions of profiles at rival Facebook as well. Starting Wednesday, music videos that MySpace has licensed for its site will run as well on the iLike music recommendation application, which the News Corp. unit acquired this month for $20 million. The videos also will have a dedicated MySpace Music Videos page and be featured more prominently on artist pages and in search results on both MySpace and on a Google music search service set to launch next week. Music videos have always been a part of MySpace. With the new service, MySpace-branded ones will also be playable inside iLike applications embedded on competing social networking sites such as Facebook, Bebo, Orkut and hi5. They will replace videos that iLike used to get from Google Inc.’s YouTube. Advertising

Universal Music Group and Sony are teaming up to create a music video site hosted by YouTube called “Vevo,” and as Warner Music plans its own music video channels on YouTube by the end of the year. ILike has 55 million registered users and 9 million visitors a month, according to MySpace, which bought the site to help MySpace stay relevant even as its users share songs, videos and games away from their MySpace home pages.
