NEW YORK MySpace has joined OpenSocial, Google’s social-networking platform for developers, giving it added ammunition in its battle against Facebook.

OpenSocial provides a common set of tech standards that allow developers to create widgets that tap into social-networking data. Facebook opened its site to outside developers in May, inviting them to not only create applications on its platform, but also to make money from them by selling ads.

Since then, over 7,000 applications have been created on Facebook.
