We never thought when we started this show that we would ever seriously cover Myspace. We figured that we might cover the official death of the network--if anything--but never its comeback! Recently Myspace unveiled a promo for the new Myspace. It's pretty awesome.
Myspace (yes, that's right... I'm talking about Myspace) is undergoing an entire makeover and it doesn't look half bad. On their site they say:
We’re hard at work building the new Myspace, entirely from scratch. But we’re staying true to our roots in one important way—empowering people to express themselves however they want. So whether you’re a musician, photographer, filmmaker, designer or just a dedicated fan, we’d love for you to be a part of our brand new community.
Here is the video they provide as a sneak peak:
So visual! I kind of love it. Sort of a Pinterest feel, yet different. It seems to be optimized for tablets which, if true, will really set it apart from its competitors.
I feel weird saying that I like it, but I do. And honestly, I think I'll be checking it out when it debuts. All I need to do is remember my Myspace login information. Hmm...
It looks like the new Myspace is going to be invite only at least in the beginning. You can request an invite at new.myspace.com.
What do you think? Once you're known as the uncool club can you rise back to the top? Is it too late for Myspace?
If you haven't already, you need to watch this video which features a segment from an aired episode of Maury.
Poor Shannon is on the show so Maury and his fancy DNA tests can confirm that her boyfriend, Joe, that he is the father of her baby. Joe says he cannot be the father due to the baby's light skin, hair and blue eyes. "Two cats can't produce a dog," is how he puts it.
Good thing joe knows who the daddy is! The daddy is Tom Anderson. Yes, the creator of Myspace is the baby daddy!
How did he figure out that Tom is the father, you ask? Well Joe did some Myspace snooping and he discovered that Tom was Shannon's first friend on Myspace AND her only white friend. It all makes perfect sense!
Just watch the video. It's hilarious and I'm pretty sure the ending is not a big surprise...
Myspace Tom has been a great sport about this whole thing. He keeps joking around about it but he wants to make sure everyone got the big message: Tom is not the father!
I just hope Joe learned something from all of this... like how one of the most popular social networking websites works, how dominant/recessive genes and genetics works, and what it's like to be a baby daddy!
