OK, there's a project page up now for the MySpace Cross- poster. You can even testdrive the software, but remember that I've stripping out nearly all of the options. This isn't a replacement to the official MySpace posting interface, it's a streamlining of the interface for a particular purpose.

I've actually had so much fun coding up that script that I decided it would be good if I fixed something that's been bugging me for quite a while. MySpace has terrible feed support, far worse than Xanga's. I've complained bitterly about it, but done nothing to solve my problem.

You see, MySpace only outputs maybe 100 characters of a blog entry, and that's after stripping out anything useful, like links and such. I have to waste my time loading MySpace up with all of its ads and junk just to read the full blog entry. What I need is a program that will output an Atom 1.0 feed with complete blog entries. Watch for it.

Unfortunately, that means I'm creating a filthy hack to support a dirty, dirty website. I hate feeling conflicted about these things. However, some of my Important People (R) blog on MySpace, and I want to read what they have to say.
