Myspace

I noticed today that the social networking site MySpace has been rebranded and revamped to compete with facebook and twitter, MySpace dropped off the scene when facebook became vastly popular in 2008/2009 stylized My_____the classic blue has been replaced by a more white interface, to resemble the look and feel of Facebook, and to attract users of Facebook to join or rejoin Myspace. 

The simplication of the navigation bar also made it easier to find features quickly. In August 2010, the home page was modified to give new room for the Myspace Stream and to make it resemble Facebook further.

On October 27, 2010, Myspace introduced a beta version of a new site design on a limited scale, with plans to switch all interested users to the new site in late November. Chief executive Mike Jones said the site is no longer competing with Facebook as a general social networking site. Instead, Myspace would be music-oriented and would target younger people. 

Myspace has always been good for new music and unsigned bands to be seen and heard. I myself have resigned to myspace. I tried twitter but found it wasn't as easy to use and speak to people one to one like facebook
