MySpace development kit used by spammers
ItWorld.com is reporting that spammers are taking advantage of the MySpace development kit to blast their junk to users.

To stop spammers from taking over MySpace the have made major changes to keep control of messaging between each user. It is now forbidden to sending out promotional messages via instant messaging and must explain how the program works. Tools that do interface to instant messaging or email have new guidelines that must be followed or the application will not be allowed to be distributed. This also stopped developers from including unknown functionality that sent out large number of messages to their own personal friend list. Applications must ask for permission to send messages and must allow users to turn off messaging from the application.
