MySpace
From Scrubyt
While MySpace doesn't need an introduction, don't forget you have a higher chance of running into problems due to myspace's inferior page lay outs and bad practices. Do not be surprised in any way if you run into problems working with myspace.com that you wouldn't have on another site.

[edit] Tutorials
Here you will find tutorials related to MySpace.com. Please see the discussion page for guidelines on naming your tutorial's page.
[edit] Authentication
It should be noted that myspace.com seems to have some servers where you can easily login into and others you can't. They don't all seem to be running the same code so definitely check for expected results over the course of a few days to ensure your code is ready for production. If a tutorial is hit or miss, it should state so on it's page.
[edit] Scraping Comments
Comments can be read with out logging in, unless the profile is private.
