MySpace announced on Monday that developers can now build MySpace applications using Silverlight, Microsoft's plug-in for developing multimedia and rich Internet applications. The companies also said that a MySpace application for Windows Mobile that uses Silverlight will be released in a few months.

Microsoft and MySpace have released code that will help developers build OpenSocial applications using Silverlight that run on MySpace's Open Platform. OpenSocial is a platform for developing applications for social-networking sites and is supported by MySpace, Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Friendster and others.
