Myspace, the social network fraught with trial and errors over the years has yet again shown the online world that it can survive amid Facebook era reigning supreme. Taking out all the jargon crap, this simply means Myspace is again trying another redesign hoping to compete against Facebook, the so-called giant social networking website of this generation.
It might come as a surprise that I know this when I am not a Myspace user (I might have signed up for account but that’s it). So how do I know about this? Through Twitter and Facebook of course, where else? Getting Twitter followers or Facebook fans isn’t my only one true hobby you know, I do read your posts (if they are interesting enough).

So there it was the news, quite 20 hours ago or so, the big headline “Myspace Unveils Plans for Massive Redesign” on Fox News shared by one of my Twitter followers. I tried to verify it, and it was not hoax, Myspace indeed is undergoing redesign.

Myspace History of Redesign

2010 – Social Entertainment Site

Myspace this time was obviously attempting to regain its audience with the lure of entertainment intended for the tech-savvy Generation Y. But it was a massive failure when most of its loyal user base turns a deaf ear. It didn’t help that the people they are targeting merely ignored the redesign and its promise of entertainment.

2011 - #1 Online Community Music Destination

In 2011, Myspace, after obviously losing its shine when Facebook started to take over, has already decided to take the most advantageous course for its site, which is to focus on the music industry. Everyone knows how Myspace has always reveled when it comes to music, especially having major music labels support it with their strict compliance to copyright.

2012 – 2 Minute Sneak Peek Video

What do you think? Will Myspace regain the glory it once lost to Facebook and Twitter? If I were to answer that, I’ll think about it and wait for its beta or launching date. For the meantime, I won’t let another Myspace promise to get in the way of getting more Twitter followers for me.

How about you? Did the Myspace redesign impress you?
