    Yesterday MySpace launched two-way syncing with Twitter for U.S. users, something Facebook has shied away from to date.

    This evening, they’ve extended the functionality to the UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and India. You can sign up for the service at myspace.com/sync.

    MySpace says they’ve also got a bunch of celebrities, comedians and musicians to sync their MySpace and Twitter accounts: Lenny Kravitz, John Legend, Rachel Zoe, Margaret Cho, George Lopez, Jamie Kennedy, David Spade, Slash, Cat Deeley, Chamillionaire, Jim Gaffigan, David Alan Grier, Larry The Cable Guy, and John Witherspoon. And I’ve done it too.

    What MySpace won’t tell me is how many total users have synchronized their accounts so far. Or exactly when they’ll roll out the features for the rest of the world. Soon, though, all MySpace users should be able to sync with Twitter.
