If you been accessing Classic MySpace,then you've no don't noticed that it doesn't exist anymore. Yep, everything from the old MySpace is gone. As of Wednesday, the New Myspace is the only Myspace you can access. But, I don't have a problem with that.
In fact, while the New Myspace was in beta, I got a chance to add or convert just about anything from the old Myspace that I might have wanted. In reality and in all fairness, that was actually zilch. I liked the look and feel of the New Myspace so much that I looked at it as a whole new website.
The launch of the New Myspace brings along with it a new app for iPhone users, adding the mobile experience that some felt had been missing. The app is free and includes an ad supported radio feature called, My Radio, that builds a station based on user input. Each user has his/her own station which that can programmed with the music that they like or feel that their friends or fans might like. And the app also includes a GIf creator.
The focus of the New Myspace is music and the people who love it. When you log on, the first thing that you notice is that those pesky ad filled pages have been replaced by large thumbnails of your friends/ fans and what they have chosen to share. That, I think, is enough in itself to get get new users into what the site has to offer.
The New Myspace is the website that everyone has talked about for a very long time. The only question is, is whether those of us hungry for the unification of music and social networking will not only go and see what is going on there, but go there ready and willing to participate in the experience that they've all been waiting for.
