Myspace decided this week that they would also change up their logo. I kid you not, the image above is actually the new design. I did not create that in a paint program. Myspace thought they would get a little clever with their words by disposing of the space and creating a blank line. I call that laziness.
It’s hard for me to knock at Myspace because before Facebook existed, Myspace was the only social networking site I used. It must have been rough for the site to get left in the dust because let’s be real, Facebook got everything. They got a movie and the title of being the number one social networking site on the interwebs. The only thing Myspace truly succeeded at was their music Myspace pages – the only reason I use the site even after deleting my old account.
I’ve got only one question in mind right now. Is Myspace sure about this? After all, we just witnessed everyone in the world ripping Gap a new one. Could the new design go more smoothly since Myspace has been off the radar?
Sometimes, I wish that Facebook came with a manual. Let’s be real, the social networking site is taking over. It’s not Google, but sometimes I fear that it will get there. Since this is The Social Network’s opening weekend, I thought I would make a post covering some advice and hints regarding the website. I think I have said it before, but I feel like Facebook is as common as a phone number. Everyone has it. While most people use it as a distraction from their homework to quickly chat with friends, edit their information, or creep on others, my main use for it is entertainment. There have been way too many times when I have perused the status updates or the photos wondering why people are so laughable. And with that – let’s get to the good stuff.
I’ll admit, I have made a few Facebook mistakes here and there. Sometimes, you don’t even realize when you do, just be careful about the things you post because what goes on the internet stays on the internet… even untagged pictures!
Can you believe that American Idol is already going into their 10th season? I had no idea that the show had been running for so long, but then you remember all of the contestants that have been impacted by the show – Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, etc. In its 10th season, the show is about to undergo some major changes, the first being a new lineup of judges. We have lost Ellen DeGeneres after one season, Kara DiGuardio after two, and Simon Cowell who has been with us from the start. Randy Jackson will still be at the judge’s table along with newbies Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez [who will be earning $12 million for her contract with the show.] American Idol has always been searching for “the next big superstar” so they are making sure they have all of their bases covered by lowering the age to audition to age 15. You never know how many Justin Bieber’s could be out there.
This year, American Idol also plans to allow auditions to be recorded and posted on MySpace. [I see we’re trying to bring this one back again.] From now until October 6th, contestants will be able to post a 40-second video of their audition, but are limited to just one audition video per contestant. They will be judged just like on American Idol and then receive callbacks to Los Angeles if chosen. If they are judged just like they are on American Idol, does that mean the judges will give criticism via…MySpace comments?!
[by the way LOL at the test user]
Subscribing is a lot less blunt then “stalking,” but I think we all really know what that is implying don’t we? Facebook is about to send their users into a flurry if they decide to press on in developing the subscribe button. I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t exactly want specific people to be notified for every action I’m participating on in Facebook. The newsfeed is already doing that job for me.
As of right now, I’m already hiding a lot by customizing privacy options not to mention the occasional deleting of a “friend” [but not really.]
I’m completely opposed to the idea because I think people don’t realize how much of an open book we already are on the internet. Facebook – take a step back please. MySpace also had a similar option called “Ffavorites,” but it was somewhat creepy because you never knew who marking your page as a favorite. Users weren’t notified about the favorite’s actions, but they did have their page saved to their account and could visit it whenever they wanted unless there were certain privacy restrictions.

and not the MySpace kind… I’m talking Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist style.
My friend’s band, Orison, is having their CD Release show this Friday at El Corazon! All the details are on the poster above. You really don’t need to know anything else, but their music falls into the genre of “Rock/Alternative/Progressive” according to their MySpace music page here
One more thing: The guitarist that goes by the name of Cyril/Swirl/Silverwolf is boyishly handsome.
And that’s all! Feel free to listen to their music at their MySpace and keep up with all of their news on their Facebook page.
Once upon a time before Facebook even existed, MySpace was the premiere social networking site. Myspace offered customizable profiles, music pages from your favorite bands – all bands, bulletins, and photo albums. They were features that had given Myspace it’s popularity, but did it also lead to its downfall? When Facebook came onto the scene, it was plain. A simple white page with a blue trim and none of those features instead of photos.
Was less really more?
Facebook started out as being an exclusive social networking website. You couldn’t make an account unless you were a college student with a college email address. Sometimes, I wonder what Facebook would be like if they had still remained that exclusive.
What makes MySpace so ghetto these days? Is it the fact that there are still people that TyPe LyKe ThIs? Is it because people still take the infamous “Myspace mirror pictures?” Weird how that got an official name… Is it because spamming is 10x worse on Myspace than it is on Facebook? Can anyone answer this question? I really want to know.
Also, do you still use Myspace? I deleted my account, but I still like to stream free music because it’s free.
By the way the above picture of the Myspace page doesn’t look like that anymore.
Didn’t think the two was possible? Yeah, neither did I. Remember when FOX and Glee organized that huge competition back in January in which everyone started using their MySpace again to upload videos of them singing? I got at least four friends from Facebook requesting me to vote for their videos. Anyways, I was unaware of the details of the competition until now. Apparently, the producers from Glee and the creator Ryan Murphy were going to review each and every entry until they had selected a smaller pool to compete in an American Idol type competition/reality show until the three winners were announced. These three no namers would then receive roles on the actual Glee series and get their burst into stardom.
Well, sadly, those dreams aren’t going anywhere because Ryan Murphy didn’t realize how much time it would take to review the entries. It would also be taking his time away from working on the actual series so the whole competition was for absolutely nothing! hahah that was mean, okay it’s not for nothing. Ryan is still going to look over the videos and select a number of winners that will have a chance to appear on Glee for at least one episode.
Readers – did any of you submit? Did you receive a notification about this?
