New Myspace, seen that somewhere before!

Is it me or does the new Myspace profile page look rather familiar. Anyone else think that new design looks a lot like Myspaces more popular competitor Facebook?

The new design does seem to concentrate more on the stream (new feed, maybe?) The navigation panel can be found to the left of the stream, like most websites. Therefore conforming to users previous experiences and expectations.

I have to say I do like the new Social Networking panel. It groups together the social networking elements and enables friends to follow the user on other sites. Although Myspace is yet to confirm if this is the finished profile design.

All in all, the new design is a vast improvement on its predecessors. Gone are the days when the comment box was the last item on a profile.

Myspace has made it clear that the new profile page has only been give to a selected number of users at the moment. In order for the social networking site to gain feedback and if needed make changes. Once the testing period is over the new profile will be rolled out across all its users. Current feedback on the new design has be mixed.

It is yet to be seen if the new page set up will turn things around for the social networking site that began the social media phenomenon. It is definitely a big step forward for Myspace. Wonder what changes will be next? A like button maybe? We will be watching closely.

Twitters record breaking World Cup

South Africa 2010 will forever be remembered as the social networking World Cup.

During the five week period of the World Cup there was always something relating to it trending on Twitter, whether it be a player, team or referee.

In terms of social networking the World Cup became a record breaking event.

Only now that the tournament has finished can we really understand how big the event was in social networking terms. The tweet record per second was even broken during the Japan V Denmark with an astonishing 3,283 tweets per second being sent. When looked at in context this figure is even more staggering considering Twitters tweets per second is normally around the 750 mark.

So closing the chapter on South Africa 2010, what did you think? Did the social media element, i.e. Twitter, Facebook etc change how you interacted during the event? was your World Cup experience enhanced? Tell us your views via Twitter of Facebook (@AngelSEO).

Facebook caves in and launches “panic button”

Social networking site Facebook has given in to months and months of pressure and launched its own panic button.

To start with Facebook wasn’t keen on having a form of “panic button”saying it highlighted and made something out of a problem that wasn’t currently an issue for their site.

Several months of negotiation between Facebook and CEOP (The Governments law enforcement agency given role of tracking down online sex offenders) has resulted in the social networking site publishing its own form of panic button application today. Facebook has managed to avoid the “panic button” since November when CEOP called for social networking sites to install an online safety feature with the likes of MySpace doing so. Facebook has the largest number of users with 400 million active accounts and is the last social networking site to introduce this from of safety feature.

Facebook is targeting its users aged between 13-18 years with the new “panic button” application. The site is hoping that youngsters install the application off their own backs or are encouraged to do so by a parent or guardian.

The new application comes as reassurance for parents and young users alike. Although the number one social networking site will promote its “panic button”, which in reality is a link to CEOP’s online advice and reporting page. Facebook has clearly stated that the “panic button” is not a default application and has to be added by the user.

Time will tell if the “panic button” does help keep younger Facebook users safer, many industry insiders say it will not make a difference due to how online sex offenders operate, they do not operate like traditional sex offenders, instead they chose to go down the relationship building route, meaning the youngster in question is even less likely to report them.
