Ever since Justin Timberlake took over Myspace, it took a huge turn around from being the dying social network to a new social music network. After going through so many new UI designs, feature upgrades Myspace made several new launches over the past few months. Now it has launched again with a new design, improvements, and finally out of beta and into the public.
The new Myspace is all about music, both new and popular artists from different genre’s are all over the place. It now has a Windows 8-style theme that lets you scroll horizontally trough the feed. As always you can discover and listen to music anytime, for free. As well as discovering new artists and connections.
Most people wonders why Myspace is still out there, since nobody wants to use it anyway. But, don’t be too quick to judge just because it’s too mainstream. Give it a try. You will probably like the new Myspace if you like listening to music. Even the experts thinks Myspace deserves a second chance, especially this new radical design has been most welcomed by many blogs like Beta News. Although, according to CBC News old users of the social network is not really happy about deleting their blogs and messages.
Services like Spotify and Last.fm already have established their music presence on the web. Myspace will have to come up with something bigger than a $20-million promotional campaign to survive the battle.
Do you think it has a chance for making it big?
