This is being whispered that this deal is not going to be redone by both parties on the previous terms and conditions, as Google is not very happy with most of the things related to My Space. Though My Space might be doing well for itself, Google is by no means happy with it.

Though most of the takings of this deal are to be associated with My Space as it is generating most of the revenue;

Google and Google promoters are not happy with it. The job of My Space is to display search results and advertisements. What My Space is doing is displaying exact Google search results to the users, which of sure won’t be required by the users. If they want Google results, why would they search on My Space?

In this upcoming last year of deal, Google is bound to pay $75 million to My Space. All the latter has to do to get this payment is make certain search page view requirements. This goal is being attained by My Space through showing exact Google results to the viewers. This is something with which Google is very unhappy.

These guaranteed payments have nothing to do with the display advertising, which is going on very well. Google is doing a great job by providing the advertisers an access to innumerable My Space users. But we do not know whether My Space will go for renewal of the agreement on this basis or not.

This toolbar will let users to have access to their notifications at the site no matter what website they browse on the internet. This browser plugin has been under tests for quite sometime, but only a limited number of MySpace users could access to it. However, it will be available to all MySpace users worldwide from today.

Windows users can use this toolbar for IE and Firebox while Mac users can only on Firefox, as no support for Safari has been provided yet.

With the help of this new toolbar, MySpace users will be able to update as well as keep record of their messages, comments, updates and other alerts. This toolbar also has links to various services of the website with its Google-powered search engine.

Though most of users don’t have time to install some browser toolbar, but no doubt, some MySpace users would definitely like to have friends’ messages and other requests in real time.

During the past some years, many unofficial MySpace toolbars have been launched, but most of them didn’t seem to offer same stability and functionality as can be seen in the official plugins.

Now the social networking site has some nice messaging features that show they have reached quite near to unveil their new service. You Myspace users will be able to send some message to several friends at once.

This feature will work as users to type the names of their friends and an autocomplete window will open that provide the list of available matches.

Though the company hasn’t commented on its plans for webmail service, it has been confirmed by MySpace that the new feature will be launched today. Similarly, it has also offered some other details regarding messaging functionality of the site.

Now you can get an at-a-glance view of your different messages so you can know whether your friends have read them or not. Now you can also attach video files to outgoing messages.

Though the interface of this site is gradually moving towards webmail clients, yet it seems that it’s missing a key feature as users don’t have an email address like name@myspace.com and you get your incoming mail. However, it has been noted that the company has started to move its corporate email addresses.

Nicola Slade, who is editor of UK music industry news service Record of the Day, said: “No doubt, it’s a great move for consumers as it will help them listen to far more songs than they could listen before.”

Slade added, “The association with Amazon’s MP3 download store would serve as a key that will be there as a serious competitor for Apple and iTunes.”

“It is, indeed, the very first download store that has the ability to reduce Apple’s MySpace share.”
“The service will make consumer realize that there is another world outside of iTunes and the services like 7digital and other smaller services can pick up more business from them as well.”

Joe Wilson, who is lecturer in Popular Music at the University of Gloucestershire, said: “This move from MySpace to offer music through its network is to promote it as a radio service for free music, but you have to pay to transfer to MP3 players,”
