Microsoft and MySpace are now partners

The day before yesterday, the second most social network, MySpace, announced the discovery of another business partner, which will certainly complicate the relationship between Google, MySpace and Facebook - this is the unforgettable Microsoft.

The subject of the partnership agreement is a few points, of which only a couple have been voiced to the general public. So, in the summer of this year, a MySpace version for smartphones and communicators with Windows Mobile will appear (iPhone, Blackberry and Android are now officially supported). In addition, MySpace will promote the Microsoft Silverlight platform, in particular, for creating applications built into the social network.

All this is fun and interesting for the simple reason that four giants: Microsoft, Google, MySpace and Facebook now form a semblance of the Bermuda quadrilateral and inflate the atmosphere between the two first companies. Google has a multi-million dollar ($ 900 million) advertising contract with MySpace for more than a year, while Microsoft has a small ($ 240 million with an estimated $ 15 billion capitalization) Facebook stake and helps it develop search and advertising strategies.

Many analysts and bloggers believe that from this day on, the relationship between Google and Microsoft on the web will be even more interesting than before. Well - time will tell.
