At 9 PM PST last night, Guns N’ Roses debuted their first album in 17 years on Myspace Music. The album entitled Chinese Democracy, is their first album since 1991. Myspace users and fans are able to listen to, but not download, the album in its entirety on the group’s Myspace page.

Illegal copies of the album have been floating around BitTorrent for the past couple weeks but last night was the official ’soft launch’ of the album. The album is available to preview in 25 countries including: US, Canada, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, UK and Japan.

It’s important to remember that downloading the music on BitTorrent is illegal, but listening to it on Myspace from the fans website is perfectly legal. The CD album goes on sale November 23rd at Bestbuy.

Yoono, the browser plugin that acts as both a social network aggregator and a media hub, announced today that on November 7th it will begin to support Internet Explorer. The service is also announcing integration with imeem and MySpace. Additionally, they are unveiling a powerful new widget that will help the plugin monetize.

Yoono’s browser plug went through an overhaul last May. The plugin has become a featured Firefox 3 Recommended Download, and has an install base of around 1.8 million users.

For reasons that I will never understand, MySpace has launches the early stages of instant message service, called MySpaceIM, which has been available to a few users for the past year.

With many popular messaging services, such as AOL’s AIM, as well as Microsoft’s MSN, MySpace thought it would a step in the right direction to provide a similar service to its users. Because there can never be too many ways to communicate to the same person.
