Is there still space for MySpace?

As you may have heard MySpace was taken over 15 months ago by a company called Specific Media and we are finally getting a glimpse of what they have in store.
Incase you’ve forgotten, MySpace is one of the original social media websites that reached fame back in 2006. MySpace’s niche was that it tapped into the musical community, with music artists from all over the world create profiles and uploading their music and demos.
Alongside Specific Media, Justin Timberlake is set to help bring back MySpace. The singer/actor/entrepreneur, known ironically for playing Sean Parker in The Social Network, has an ownership stake of MySpace and is helping to reinvent the site. It was Timberlake himself who tweeted a sneak peek of the new look site.
Whilst the preview video didn’t give too much away, we did found out these few changes:
- You will be able to link your MySpace to your Facebook and Twitter by logging in using these accounts. This includes bringing over content such as photos and videos that you already have on these sites and putting them on your new MySpace page.
- The music aspect of the MySpace page is going to be bigger – with better ways to browse tracks, videos, popular artists and up and coming artists.
