Verdict
While new Myspace has been fun to play with and looks great, Ive failed to find a purpose for daily use. Facebook has the people I connect to, Twitter has the minute to minute updates I crave, Instagram has the photos I share, and Spotify/Rdio have the music I listen to. While Myspace has the potential for being great once again, I dont expect it to regain and keep a hold of the volume of users Facebook boasts or even what they had in their glory days. Instead, it looks like the continued focus will be music and media. The question that remains is the capacity at which the new service can be used by musicians to reach their fans. New features are promised by launch, fixes and adjustments too. So we may yet see what will save the floundering company. So far, Im enjoying my beta access and adjusting out Top 8s as my friends join in. Did I mention Tom was back?
