With iLike Acquisition, MySpace Becomes One of the Largest Developers on Facebook

Suddenly, MySpace has just become one of the largest application developers on the Facebook Platform.

Just a few minutes ago, MySpace announced that it has acquired iLike, developers of the largest music app on Facebook and one of the 15 largest application developers overall by total reach. iLike, as you may remember, famously exploded from zero to two million users in the first two weeks after the Platform launched in May of 2007.

With the acquisition by MySpace, we move to the next chapter in one of the more dramatic relationships between Facebook and an application developer since the Platform has been around.
