The problem is that something like LinkedIn has been specifically designed for business networking and that shows. To put that sort of functionality into MySpace you would need to put in the months of thought and product design that went into LinkedIn. It isn't just a bunch of functionality. I think a more likely end state is something like Open Social will allow users to share selected details across their different profiles (on different sites).

Thats genius. I can see it now. Myspace is retarded, no one will take you seriously on there. Theyd have to revamp the whole of myspace to get that to work. ha!
