MySpace 2.0 Launched

by Walter Naeslund on November 10, 2008

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?

I read both of your blogs and I like them just as much ( and I do not really read blog, nothing against them just not a blog person), but English is a preferred language. If you are going to change your other Swedish blog so it will be like this one it is nice for Swedish speaking people but I like the fact that the Swedish one is more personal and free and this one more focused on social media.

Thanks Edith, I used to have two blogs. Walterlicious is my private one in Swedish, and Walter Naeslund is my professional one in English. Now, Very Much Blog is my third blog, and it has in a way replaced Walter Naeslund, and that is why I consider making Walter Naeslund into a Swedish language professional blog, focused on instead. Walterlicious will remain untouched.
