TDT Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Is there anyone still using MySpace today? Compared to other social networking sites, it's by far the weakest, has the least features, etc. And judging from a musicians perspective, there's already at least one better alternative (ReverbNation), full of free and paid features, and so on. So, my question is, how and why are they still maintaining this site? I remember reading somewhere, about a year ago, that MySpace will "suffer" a massive makeover, but that never happened.

c3ntury Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 My mate said "MySpace is for creative people, musicians etc". Which is complete BS, its just a crappy social networking site, lacking features and is designed to appeal to 12 year olds.. end of.

Jen Smith Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Haven't even looked at the site in years. Between the user 'styles' (complete with horrible backgrounds, fonts and colors that make things near impossible to read), the music player (thank you AdBlock), and other 'features', it just makes my head hurt. Just a more obnoxious version of Facebook, pass. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/901268-who-uses-myspace/#findComment-592624504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G. Veteran Posted May 14, 2010 Veteran Share Posted May 14, 2010 No, I don't use it. I used to have an account to communicate with a few people, but I deleted it. It's a truly awful site.

+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted May 14, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted May 14, 2010 I deleted the Myspace account I had in late 2007 IIRC. Never used it much anyway. Also the late-1990s-Geocities-style Myspace pages most people had on there were a pain in the backside.

amon91 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Last time I accessed it was in like 2007 (8th grade), when I created an account, I admit it, to stalk someone. I find the site pretty awful and will definitely go down quickly unless they rebrand it, which I hope they do, but kinda doubt it. They've gone through like 2 CEOs in the last 12 months, I think that's telling.

Just take a look at reverbnation, they're absolutely fantastic. Anyway, does anyone have some info about that "remake" of myspace I was reading about?
