Those of you who have been following me for a while (or know me personally) know that Myspace is one of my favorite things to talk about. I have said before that I would drop everything to be the CEO of that company, and I’m only half kidding when I say that.
When Myspace released a video of their redesigned site I was elated. Watching (fictional person) David create an account and then scroll through pictures and friends, share music, connect with musicians… It seemed to echo many of the thoughts I had for the service; take the template for Myspace Music, and grow it. Make Myspace a place for artists. The New Myspace brings us closer to a social network for artists than any other site has before. And it does it with style. Myspace is damn pretty.
I have been using New Myspace almost two months. I think it’s pretty good. The site just opened to the public so I thought it would be worth putting some thoughts on down on text
As far as the gist of the site, the flow and basic day to day use, New Myspace makes more sense to me than Facebook. I would go as far as saying that New Myspace actually makes Facebook feel a little outdated, especially when you consider that we we live in a world of Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, and Pinterest.

My thesis! Help a girl out and take a look?
“Like Me” is an interactive creative thesis that investigates traditional and modern methods of self-representation through photographs and text. The creative component to this thesis is based entirely on your participation. You can contribute in a variety of different ways that vary in anonymity, time, and availability which are detailed on this blog’s respective pages. All submissions will appear in the gallery installation projected to be shown sometime in February 2013. If you do not wish to participate, you also have the option of filling out a short anonymous social media survey that will be greatly beneficial to the artist for research and theoretical purposes. The artist is currently seeking individuals of all ages to participate.
