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.
