A while back I wrote about MySpace on my other blog (which has been asleep for some time now while I’ve been busy with this one). Last night MySpace launched it’s 2.0 version, and that is of course big news for the world of social media.
I haven’t played around with it much yet, but a quick look reveals big improvements in speed, modularity and smartness. This redesign will probably play a key role in MySpace’s comeback, though I’m still a bit sceptical to exactly how modular it really is. We’ll see.
In any event, I think that the combination of music and a social platform is lethal. We’ll see what this will amount to, but if I were Spotify for example, I’d be a bit worried. (Quick tip Spotify: Sell yourselves as a music communications tool, intergrate better with existing social networks, and figure out a smarter business model than super annoying ads).
Oh, and by the way, I’m thinking of changing my other blog (the Walter Naeslund-blog) into a Swedish language advertising, technology, and social media blog to complement this one. What do you think of that?
