Today, MySpace announced “Data Availability” with partners Yahoo!, eBay, Photobucket, and Twitter. Check out the press release here.

To summarize:

Yahoo

Information on a user’s MySpace profile may be integrated into Yahoo! services in a variety of ways. For example, users that have chosen to share their MySpace content and data with Yahoo! Instant Messenger might find their MySpace default photo, interests, and favorite music displayed to their Messenger contacts directly in the IM client. Additionally, MySpace users will be able to choose to display their data within Yahoo!’s universal profile or leverage it in Yahoo! Mail’s smarter inbox, both launching later this year.

eBay

eBay profiles will be able to be enhanced with MySpace bios, interests, pictures, and videos. When browsing or transacting on eBay, the availability of external social information can help users make decisions quickly about whom they can do business (and forge relationships) with.

Photobucket

Photobucket users will be able to have a single view of their photos across multiple services, as well as opt-in to displaying their MySpace profile data in their Photobucket albums. Users will also be able to leverage their existing connections on MySpace to share their content on Photobucket more easily, without having to re-establish connections and friend lists.

Twitter

Twitter profiles at present are primarily focused on current updates and are relatively sparse on user information. Users will be able to incorporate their MySpace profile content and data points previously not included in the Twitter product suite. Once the implementation is complete, a user will be able to bring in their MySpace content and data including their bio, blogs, and photos, ultimately making the Twitter site a more enriching site with content previously unavailable in its interface.

Say want you want about whether or not anyone really wants to see MySpace information elsewhere, but this is part of the ‘3.0′ stuff that everyone’s been talking about…and other properties will follow suit.
