The New MySpace layout

We should have some information about the new layout on the home page and the navigation bar. It is a major step of myspace and that should be included. The Web 2.0 gradient like design and the home page, etc. They should also say how the new homepage design of Nov 2009 is just a carbon copy of facebook. From reading posting on the myspace forums a vast majority of user comment are negative on the forced new look.

New Version Of Registration

The New Version of the Registration won't let people register! Please message me about this problem. Thank you,

Remove the 100th million profile reference

There are no longer 100 million myspace users so why reference it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lbzguy4u69 (talk • contribs) 23:45, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MySpace reveals new logo.

MySpace recently updated their logo yesterday, consisting of the word "my" followed by a fill-in-the-blank space. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KnightRider592 (talk • contribs) 17:26, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should probably use the old (or current) logo used by the site until the change, maybe put new one in relevant section? Seems odd as it is. (Or other way round?) 89.101.110.13 (talk) 00:52, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

a) I agree with the above; we should at least include the old logo until the new one is up on the site; would a picture showing both logos be appropriate? b) That is an awful picture of the new logo. It looks like it is the leaked image from a few weeks ago, and it most likely retrieved from a badly angled photo. Official media assets can be found on this page: http://myspace.presslift.com/meet-the-new-myspace-. I'm afraid I don't know how to change pictures (I'll work it out in the sandbox), so if anyone stumbles across this before then...Sam250 (talk) 14:47, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

co-founder??

I find it quite hard to believe that Austin "Chumlee" Russell from the TV show Pawn Stars is the co-founder of MySpace. His name only appears one place on this page and his bio on the Pawn Stars page does not mention Myspace. I think someone is messing with you.

Awful, awful article

"It also enables user to view popular music in other countries of the world, mostly in Europe and major Asian countries such as China and Russia. That helped promote international music throughout the globe, globalizing the music scene easier than before". lolwut? I'm going to go ahead and credit the Beatles with promoting 'international' music. Y'know, being Brits in the USA.

I was going to say "it sounds like it was written by Myspace marketing" but I would hope one of the 1000 employees could form a more coherent advertisement. GavinZac (talk) 12:11, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
