The first, leaked through the tried and true anonymous sources, landed at AllThingsD, where "sources at both companies" whispered about early talks they're engaging in over tying up MySpace Music with Microsoft's own music offering on its MSN portal.

Talks are described as preliminary, but in essence they seem aimed at bringing MySpace's music content, which is vast and available through licensing agreements the site has struck with entertainment companies and artists, to MSN Music, in exchange for some form of compensation.

The second rumor, which actually has named executives offering confirmation, sees MySpace in talks with its direct rival, Facebook. This comes courtesy of London's Telegraph, which quotes Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg:

"Facebook is focusing on building the best technology which helps people share content, while at MySpace they are focusing on more a content-led strategy. We would like to have their content, as we already do with many other sites, shared across our network because it is good for our users."

So, using Facebook Connect, users could port their content from MySpace into their Facebook profiles.

Sandberg describes the relationship between the two companies as warm, particularly given that MySpace CEO Owen Van Natta previously served as Facebook's chief revenue officer.
