That's right, Myspace has made another leap into the Web 2.0 community now releasing its own 2.0 style launched at midnight.In laymen terms Myspace 2.0 is faster, more customizable and more secure. According to the Myspace administration the new Myspace allows you to "create your own website" using your own styles.
The new system allows you to choose who can view any module on your space. You can set whether you want a module to be public, private or even use your friend categories.
Also, speed is increased because you no longer need custom hacks or themes as everything you need is built into the Myspace system itself. For example, you can set a custom number of displayable comments instead of using the default 50.
You can move all your modules around so you can switch up where you want everything. You want comments on the left hand side and interests on the right? Move them.
And if you don't like the new system you can revert your profile back to the original style.

It's really quite amazing how they went from being the number one social networking site to being irrelevant. Facebook is more popular because it has better functionality - releasing a new skin isn't going to make MySpace popular again.
Learn the lesson!
Buggy and annoying as it may be, MySpace is still immensely popular and used daily by millions. To discount that would be ignorant and farcical.
Learn the lesson!
Myspace is the 7th most visited website in the world, and it's been around for quite a while.
Hopefully for them, with this refresh they can make user pages more readable or functional.
However, i don't like it and don't use it.

you could not be more right! ... it's layout is just poor looking and bloated etc etc.
Atleast in my city this is how people behave. I feel sad that MySpace has put that big of an affect on my city. Whatever, I'll be weird and use a phone
It's a shame it means none of my CSS works now, as they have changed the underlying code for the profile layout & I really haven't got the time to code it all again to work, ahhhh well, now my MySpace is rubbish, at least I mostly use Facebook now
I think this is an excellent step for MySpace. The only problem is that they had a sweet ninja theme when they launched it last night and they took it away
How did you get that music player on the screenshot? The one with all the different songs? I can only get the one with one song on it
Thanks in advance.

http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.mymusic if I remember correctly. You make a playlist and it should give you the option to add it as your default music player.
And I think if you add a new song to your profile it should automatically update. =]

The feature is disabled at the moment, it says (probably due to the 2.0 upgrade), but I will check it out when it is available again.
Thanks for the great article & the heads-up on this by the way!
You have to set your stuff to private by clicking the little pencil above the modules in customization mode.
No.
MySpace is serving a different audience to Facebook, mostly unsigned musicians and wannabe glamour models. Many of you would probably feel the sameway about Bebo, but again, it's a different audience, it's social network for teenagers.
I think that the only reason Bebo and MySpace survive is because they allow their members to fully customise their profiles, where on Facebook, the majority don't want in your face flash slideshows of half naked ladies (although its nice, just not at work!
Site should be banned from the internet as should facebook and all those "social" gathering sites.

ha ha.... why?
1: Custom layouts, mostly girls abusing it by putting pink with white text making it impossible to read
2: Music that started playing automatically. I don't care if its there, but if I'm listening to iTunes or don't want music, I don't want to be bombarded
3. Random strippers adding me as 'friends'
This is my favorite feature!
I hate myspace. I log on to check for messages and stuff, but other than that I don't feel the need to be on there. It's only cool when your 16 years old.
Oh and I tried their new 2.0 thing. It sucks.
Facebook is equally as annoying. Sick of getting these stupid bumper stickers and drinks and all this BS I don't want.
