At long last, MySpace is looking shiny and new again.

Welcome to the new Myspace

According to MySpace President Michael Jones the News Corp.-owned site will no longer seek to compete with Facebook, but rather complement it. “Our focus is social entertainment,” he said. “Niche players have long staying power.”
By complementing Facebook, Jones must mean adopting its features. Let’s have a look…

That’s right, the status box mirrors Facebook’s and the share function to its right allows a MySpace member to also post updates to Twitter and Facebook. Yea for social integration!
Also note the stream of activity and Recommendations from MySpace friends, just like Facebook. But for social entertainment.

About David Burn

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17. She went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time. Starting in Portland in 1995, I worked my way across the country as a copywriter and eventually became a content director making media products for big packaged goods brands. I returned to Oregon in 2008, and now I focus on building brands for companies that matter, including this one.
