MySpace News launching today

The wires are reporting that MySpace is set to launch its social news feature today. As of this morning, the site was still inaccessible to the public, but Wired managed to snag a couple of screenshots last month.

MySpace News will let users determine which stories make it to the front page through a ranking system, much like Digg, Reddit or Netscape. But MySpace New won't rely entirely on user submissions.

The service will also scan news sites and blogs looking for stories to feature on the site. But user input will be key in determining which stories make it to the front page of MySpace News.

Following the Google News example, MySpace News will feature headlines, a one paragraph description and a link to the full article. We'll be starting an office pool shortly on how long it will take for content producers to start suing MySpace.
