MySpace tries to bring sexy back with new Justin Timberlake song |
January 15, 2013
MySpace has opened up its new-look website to the wider public after more than six months of internal beta testing and limited previews. The launch coincides with the release of Justin Timberlake’s new single, “Suit & Tie,” featuring rapper Jay-Z, which is promoted on the landing page of the site.
Timberlake is one of the main investors in MySpace. He teamed up with Specific Media to purchase the site for about $35 million from News Corp. in 2011. News Corp. had purchased MySpace in 2005 for $580 million.
Anyone can now sign up to the new MySpace, with their Facebook or Twitter account, or with an old MySpace account, if you ever had one. The new-look MySpace seems inspired by the Windows 8 Metro user interface, with clean rectangles, straight lines and smooth scrolling.
MySpace is all about music
The central point of the new MySpace is music. The bottom of the page is dedicated to the audio deck, where you can create your own mix (playlist) or listen to radio stations based on your musical tastes. The Radio feature is similar to Last.fm, where you pick one song to start with and MySpace will play song recommendations based on that choice. You can also listen to other people’s mixes and share your own. Some songs also have music videos available to play straight from your mix, and you can play them in full screen or in a corner of the page while browsing.
