The new Myspace

The efforts made by this social network are substantial, and by launching the new.myspace.com web site version the company seems to be sincerely trying to get in touch with users' needs. Hopefully this strategy will do the job for them; otherwise, the chances of being successful at yet another future version will most likely prove futile if they want to come even close to competing with a giant like Facebook. It is also important to mention that the new Myspace gets high marks in areas such as usability, interactivity, audio visual player experience, user interface and image. 

The new version, compared to the classic one, provides the user with a somewhat limited license to operate the profile of choice which can be retrieved from the classic myspace version, or the user can create a new profile. If the choice is the latter, and creating such a new profile is more appealing, then new terms must be accepted, which will make some authors of original copyrighted music, or any other kind of content, a lot more relaxed.

The not-so-great aspects about the new version could have more to do with the new terms and conditions for users and content creators, and although there might be some understood things in those terms, in this space, on the other hand, I decided to 

Rough start for Facebook IPO

It has been called one of the biggest stock market launches in history, and at first, some investors were concerned that the stock might have been overpriced, but others were more trusting and bought it anyway.

On May 31, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) stock went down to $26.83 at noon, but then it started to scale up again to finally close at $29.60, leaving some people surprised at the considerable number and level of fluctuations happening in one single day.
