Myspace Web Review

Myspace.com

MySpace, one of the largest sites of its kind on the internet. In the search engine it is described as a virtual community site allowing members the chance to network and meet new people from all over the world. It also has a huge music base, allowing bands to share their music with their fans and communicate with their promoters. From the bands pages you can also add their songs to your page, from their music player. So when someone accesses your homepage, as they scroll down to view your details, the song will begin to play, this adds atmosphere to your page.
The sign-up process is very straightforward. Like most sites it's just a case of inputting your personal details and email address. Your town or city is important if you wish to communicate with people local to you, as your location will be shown on your page. In addition you will also be given your own domain, so very important to choose this name carefully, as once it is set, it cannot be changed. All other details can be changed once you have joined.
The navigation of this site is very easy. Your homepage is where you do all your editing, changing of photos, changing of friends, etc. This page is predominantly pale blue and white. At the top of the page you have a list of all options for navigation. It's straightforward and works well and is easy to understand. Navigation is smooth and well thought out.
In 1999 Tom Anderson and Chris De Wolfe started a company called Intermix Media sites. From this in 2003 they re-named one of the sites MySpace. Tom and a handful of computer programmers set up the first pages of MySpace. It re-emerged as a social networking site, gaining huge popularity overnight. In 2005 Rupert Murdoch, seeing this phenomenon grow, bought them out. MySpace is located in West Hollywood, California.
I think this is a great site. I have made a lot of new friends from here. I have never met anyone from the Internet before, but this site is very professional and as long as you feel comfortable, and check people out a bit, and are happy with it, then why not. MySpace has 100 million members. And 500,000 new members join every week. It is the most popular website in the USA. And the 4th most popular English language site in the world. The site is well designed. Easy navigation and great fun and all for free. The music side to it is fantastic. It is a massive networking community and a great way to make new friends from all over the world.
