The remake of once dominant social
network
Myspace, the social network that looked to
be Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook challenger is back with some fine style. After
being purchased by News Corporation in 2005 for $580 million the social network
site got lost in the jungle and lost its core value.
Now with new owners and a refreshed face
the social network looks pretty gorgeous. Stylistically Myspace borrows a lot
from Pinterest, and the new profile pages arrange posts and photos in a similar
kind of Pinboard way.
The eye-catchy social media network has put
emphasis on music, not only is there a player integrated into each page, but
the sign-up page for those individuals wanting to join features a spinning
vinyl.
Will having new owners, a new look and
pop-star Justin Timberlake as creative director bring back the flair? Or will
Myspace be fighting relegation in the lower leagues of the social media space.
Added to its new look the site will now be able to add 10,000 new tracks each
day.
Let’s hope with all these changes Myspace
can attract and lure back users.
