ONLINE SERVICES/INTERACTIVE MEDIA
Following in the tradition of Google’s Zeitgeist and Yahoo’s list of top searches, MySpace has put together its “Top 8’s of 2008″, detailing some of the most popular artists, songs, searches, performers, and blogs on the social network in the last year. The biggest winner overall seems to be Twilight – the vampire flick that took the world by storm earlier this winter ranked highest in terms of overall searches on MySpace as well as for the movie trailer category.

Google’s got a new partner at Friend Connect, their service to let users log in to third party websites with their user credentials from social networks. Last week at Le Web conference MySpace was doing all the heavy lifting to promote Google Friend Connect. But it turns out Twitter is the first third party service after Plaxo to actually integrate with Google’s new service. (http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/12/15/twitter-google 12/15)
