Myspace shifts gears

In an effort to re-brand itself into something new and modern, the once popular social networking site Myspace.com has gone under a complete re-design. Everything from the logo to how profiles are laid-out has been changed to portray the website as a more current and contemporary site. Greatly overshadowed by the monopoly Facebook has over social networking sites, Myspace has stated its now focused more heavily on music and entertainment. This is a very smart move in my opinion, as it is capitalizing on something it is already somewhat good at: the ability to showcase music (particularly newer/indie artists). However, regardless of how hard it tries and how much money is poured into it, I feel that Myspace will never achieve the fame and notoriety of Facebook.
