MySpace Undergoing Redesign
By Reshma Kumar at June 15, 2008 0 CommentsMySpace plans to redesign its homepage, navigation, profile editing, search utility, and TV player. Starting this Wednesday, June 18, it will start launching the first of the redesigns. The social networking behemoth said the redesign will be global and is an attempt to widen its demographics and boost user engagement on the site. “This is more than a face-lift; we’re changing the way people interact with the site and with brands,” said a MySpace spokesman, adding that a major advertiser was signed for the U.S. MySpace home page on the first day of the relaunch.
MySpace has about 110 million users worldwide and claims to be the most trafficked website in the U.S. and has about 300,000 people sign up every day.
Current MySpace Homepage:
Busy, loud, and downright tacky!
Proposed New Homepage:
A little more streamlined, a little easier on the eye, softer color palette, less cluttered, use of tab sets. (Interesting point of comparison - the competition, Facebook)
Labels: MySpace, social networks, usability 2.0, user experience
