I find it a bit...well, biased, to have the stalking section only mention the stalking of college girls. Myspace and Facebook make it easier for teens and young adults of any gender to be stalked. I'm not necessarily suggesting that it should be deleted, only that the wording comes off as sexist, almost implying that women are fragile or that Myspace somehow encourages the stalking of college girls over college guys.

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.
add new info
add new info about new myspace, new layout, update on november 29th, general reaction ok
Religious discrimination
Under "Religious Discrimination" is an entry detailing an atheist group being deleted from myspace. Atheism is not by any definition a religion therefore I'll be deleting the word 'religious' from the header. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taraalcar (talk • contribs) 10:36, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Myspace is dead, its fire has gone out of the universe.
Someone reading this with no knowledge of the history of the internet might well assume that this was just another successful internet enterprise, much like any other. This article does not make it clear that, in the popular imagination, and for all intents and purposes, that Myspace is dead. Dead dead dead dead dead.

- Some truth here, but don't read the last rites just yet. Since 2008 Myspace has been slipping steadily in the Alexa rankings. Like GeoCities, Myspace has become a good example of the fickle nature of the Internet. The article could look at the decline in more detail, and the proposed sale by News Corporation.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 11:57, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Edit request
{{Edit semi-protected}}
Hey I thought the "Myspace Feaures" section was lacking in omitting anything about Myspace's privacy settings. So I thought this paragraph might work:
Myspaces default profile does not come with any privacy settings, allowing all of your personal information and profile to be viewed by anyone that is on or has access to the internet. In order to change this, one must go into their privacy settings and set your profile to private. This sets the profile so that non-myspace users are not allowed to view the profile at all. In order to fully view the full Myspace profile, someone must be a registered myspace user and be added to the friends list.To do this you must log onto your myspace account and click 'Account settings". Then next to Privacy Settings, click 'change settings'. where it says 'Who can view my full profile' click "Friends only" and then click change. This is the safest privacy setting to have so that you can control the people who have access to your profile and information. By default, anyone who is younger than 18 and older than 14 gets set to the automatic protection for young users on Myspace. This allows youth to have a more private profile so that people they do not know or who are much older than them cannot view their information. [1] [2]
- Not done. This is too detailed per WP:NOTHOWTO.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 08:35, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
WSJ citation
Some concerns about this edit, which is cited to a Wall Street Journal article with a WP:PAYWALL. This makes it hard to see whether the edit is a fair transcription of what the WSJ article says. Some concerns about NPOV here. It would be better to cite this material without a paywall.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 05:52, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
Stalking
I find it a bit...well, biased, to have the stalking section only mention the stalking of college girls. Myspace and Facebook make it easier for teens and young adults of any gender to be stalked. I'm not necessarily suggesting that it should be deleted, only that the wording comes off as sexist, almost implying that women are fragile or that Myspace somehow encourages the stalking of college girls over college guys. 71.227.7.35 (talk) 05:49, 23 June 2011 (UTC)derpyhooves24
