Well there was a time when Kazza was buzz word, but looks like we are now heading towards MySpace age, where MySpace is not only buzz word but also attracting lots of money. Cingular, the largest U.S. wireless phone carrier, will offer a version of popular Internet social network MySpace on its phones in an expansion of their partnership, which is about to declare (due on Monday).

Cingular customers will be able to upload photos taken on cellphones, read and respond to MySpace e-mails, update blog entries and view and search for friends from their handsets. But not for free it will cost additional $2.99/ month.  As newspapers companies are running after social networking contents, in 2007 expect to see mobile companies making deals to provide social media contents.

MySpace, one of the fastest-growing Internet services with more than 130 million user profiles, And also recently crossed Yahoo! in page views. News Corp’s MySpace is also offered on cellphone service carrier Helios. But Cingular’s version will be more expansive. In order to enjoy this service Cingular users have to download a Java software application to their cellphones/mobile phones. At the start only 30 models of phone will support this feature, but another 20 models supported in the coming weeks will give almost 90% Cingular user compatibility of this service.

What type of contents will be viewable and won’t be viewable is yet unknown. But most probably the Video contents won’t be viewable.
