Rappy Veteran Posted September 14, 2007 Veteran Share Posted September 14, 2007 Interesting blog post by MySpace co-founder and president Tom Anderson this morning. He?s proposing a new default layout for MySpace pages that has significantly better organization of user information, and moves from a two column to three column approach.So we?ve been working on a new home page design here. Thinking of launching this in a few weeks, but I wanted to see what people thought about. Take a look and tell me what you think The page certainly has more of a Facebook look and feel than the existing default theme, with clearly delineated content areas and modules, and a new horizontal navigation bar across the top. Unlike Facebook, MySpace allows users to customize the CSS of their profiles. If you really don?t want to leave MySpace but love the clean lines of Facebook, there are templates to customize MySpace to look just like Facebook.

Argi Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Still looks like a web 1.0 mess. Graphics everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Yep, sure does remind me of FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamsINdigital Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Looks better, but still crappy. I hate MySpace's design, it's so inconsistent throughout the site. There isn't even a static header design that says it's MySpace. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavityCr33p Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Agreed, but it looks much better than the current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leddy Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Still looks like poop. That's why people use Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Teej Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 It still looks awful. I'd rather keep the old layout. I'd rather have a crappy layout that I'm used to then a crappy layout I'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonRedMk Member Posted September 14, 2007 Member Share Posted September 14, 2007 . This is MySpace. What is there to say? Once all of the 14 year olds realize that people actually see their profiles, maybe they'll spiffy up their pages. On second thought, that's NEVER going to happen. The typical reasoning of a MySpace user is this: It's my page, I do what I want, I don't care who looks, what they think, how much I hate my page, or anything. The friend and comments counter is what counts! Plus, if they changed around one bit of formatting, they'd need to re-educate half of their userbase about where to log in :rolleyes: /endrant/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code.Red Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 It's an improvement, still looks a bit cluttered and messy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayepecks Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Better than the current home page. I still just view my profile instead of my home page. Stealing a lot from Facebook, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappy Veteran Posted September 15, 2007 Author Veteran Share Posted September 15, 2007 Rounded boxes? How Web 2.0 of him. Yeah they have to keep up but after signing up with Yahoo's version of social networking I like it alot more and its a road I think Myspace should go down.

Nicholas-c Veteran Posted September 15, 2007 Veteran Share Posted September 15, 2007 Yeah they have to keep up but after signing up with Yahoo's version of social networking I like it alot more and its a road I think Myspace should go down. personally i think facebook has surpassed myspace, at college people were talking about facebook etc and i don't think many people go on myspace at college. i think myspace has had its fame as "the best one" and its time to get good servers or give up and step down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Is this Tom being productive? :laugh: I think they should worry about the random "unexpected error"s first :p What would be nice is if the fool didn't add you to his friends list on creation and if you didnt get messages about his stupid compilition cd's ect even after removing him from your list. grah. In terms of the UI, yeah its a bit better but frankly still bad and uninspired. Still looks a mess to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
