London - News Corp.'s MySpace online social network on Thursday launched a version of its site in France, as part of the company's roll-out of foreign language sites catering to overseas markets, Reuters reported.

A version of MySpace in the U.K. now claims 6.9 million members, while a beta version in Germany claims 2.4 million monthly unique users; beta sites are also operating in Italy and Ireland.

"In terms of international expansion there will be a lot of activity in Europe this year," a MySpace spokesman told Reuters.

The French version of MySpace will compete in the country with services like Skyblog, which claimed 13.2 million unique users in November, according to comScore.
