Make Over: MySpace

Before the days of Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and the like there was MySpace. I'm sure we've all had an account whether we remember our log-in info or not. Well turns out MySpace is getting a facelift.
I don't know about you but it looks AWESOME compared to all the recent and never-ending changes Facebook makes. The number of advertisements alone are enough to make "deactivate" my account.

The relaunch is based on a place for musicians to connect with their fans...we'll see how long that lasts (i.e. Facebook and college students -__-).

Forbes reports that the new MySpace “is not a social network per se but a socially-powered venue wherein music fans can experience artists through every facet of their output — music, videos, photos, profiles, social feeds, live events and ticket sales.” Chris Vanderhook goes onto say, “MySpace is the only site in the world where you can get everything an artist does if you’re interested in that artist…To do all those things would probably take you 30 different properties.”
