I read with interest the Mashable article explaining how to share content on MySpace from your own site, so I tried it.

Unfortunately it is very limited.  It does allow HTML to be posted but that HTML is altered before it is displayed making it almost useless.  For example it removes Javascript - so I thought of using an Iframe.  Then, I found it removed the Iframe so I tried a picture and guess what is replace that with 2 dots.  Shame, seems they're concerned about security.  What's worse is they have no mobile option so the sharing screen displayed is a large form which would not work on a phone too well.

In the end the only thing you can do is give it some text and give it a URL.  If the Myspace user clicks the url they then get an "offsite" screen which they have to accept before getting the content.

All a great idea but the implementation is so limited its not worth thinking about until they fix the issues.

Just returned from Barcelona where thanks to a post on MoMo London we bought some Yoigo SIMs, where the charge is only 1.3 Euros per day for unlimited 3G data.  The network did completely crash for an hour on Monday but for the rest of the time it worked a treat and we were able to demo our software at a fraction of the price of our UK Operator which charges £7.5 per megabyte whilst roaming.  Yoigo only allow 2 SIMs per passport and because there were 3 of us I then installed JoikuSpot beta which turned my N95 into a WLAN hotspot for my colleague to use.  My N95 got quite hot but it all worked well.  The only issue with JoikuSpot was that it did not have any security so anyone could also use my Hotspot and it did not seem to allow https or smtp/pop.

Thinking about this whilst roaming data rates remain high its probably worth buying the best SIMs in each country with good data rates.  Perhaps some reader of this blog should set up a web site providing advice on best deals.
