MySpace to Get a Facelift

Users have been fleeing MySpace en masse for the more respectable and less spam filled Facebook. A bit of a redesign will be good for MySpace, but will it be enough to save the site clearly in its death throes?

Facebook does not give you the artistic license that MySpace allows in design (CSS/HTML options) which is why I have 1 facebook profile I rarely access with all its inane teenage widgety crap (which MySpace is starting to, admittedly, get too much of), and 9 MySpace profiles with various themes surrounding favorite artists, etc. I finally broke out of MySpace after all the self-teaching it allowed me over a period of several blissful months (keeping my danged sites, though) and moved into website ownership which gives even more artistic legroom. All I can say is thank you to MySpace for my start in web design, small -time though it may be, it makes me happy.

I have accounts on Facebook and Myspace, Myspace is superior but the media has decreed that facebook is the latest thing to have so the mindles sheep follow. Truthfully neither sire is anything to get excited about but I use Myspace to look for music and it is much more conducive for that feature. The only question is what will be the next site to be promoted as the new thing to be a part of? My only reason to be associated with the facebook site is because my wife asked me so she would have another friend on the site.

I prefer a new social site that has video dating, resumes and emails that pay you to share it. http://www.friendswin.com/view_profile.php?member_id=3949

Myspace was first for me. I prefer to keep connected with my friends through my myspace profile. So many sites out there to keep track of, im happy with myspace.

I think facebook should be kept for college students only; its just creepy when you see older ppl prowling around on there

DIDN'T YOU EVER HEAR THE SAYING, "if it's not broken, don't try to fix it." It usually ends up screwed up and people lose interest in it. That seems to be what happens on here all the time.

To Davi:
Facebook did not originally copy myspace. Facebook was started at Harvard as a student directory. Eventually it opened for all colleges. You were not able to sign onto facebook unless you had a college email. Unfortunately for us college students, now any creep can get onto facebook and took over our "private" space. I find both sites to be very unsafe now. Viruses are all over myspace, and people put way too much information on facebook.

Myspace has its strengths just like Facebook and YupYap, which cater to different groups. To me ... I see them as graduating from one site to the next. Now I use YupYap.com to network since I am out of college now.

..i am one of the older people on myspace, you can't beat it for connecting to your favorite musicians, it is very cool

I used to like myspace, but the pedophilia problems and the penchant towards pin-up girl pop-up adverts for the singles websites made me kind of sick to my stomach. The pedophilia's hard to cut off, I guess, but the pictures could have easily been done away with. I asked them to do something about it, but was ignored. Little too late to change, now, in my opinion.

I actually like MySpace, however, I am in the real estate business. I haven't had much luck networking on MySpace so I found www.WannaNetwork.com. They are a real estate specific networking site where I don't get bothered by 16 year-old kids when I am trying to establish working relationships! I love WannaNetwork!
