Photo by: KylemacWith social media sites fighting for the title of biggest online network site, Myspace has stepped up for the challenge and has began working on revamping its company. Former Facebook executive Van Natta, has taken the position of CEO of Myspace (Ortutay 1). Writer Barbara Ortutay states in one of her articles that Mr. Natta has replaced Chris DeWolfe; one of the co-founders of Myspace this past Wednesday. The writer states that Mr. Natta faces new challenges on his way. Ortutay discusses that although Myspace is the current highest social network site; their users are still less than those of Facebook (130 Million Myspace users vs. 200 Million Facebook users). Ortutay discusses that much of Myspace revenues come from advertisings that Google Inc has done throughout the years. The writer states that the CEO Van Natta will bring new change to the company. Ortutay continues by stating that unlike Facebook, Myspace has not redesigned or updates their sites as frequently. Writer Ortutay concludes her article by stating that CEO Van Natta comes from a strong background and can do wonders for the Myspace site.
I believe that redesigning one's company's image such as Myspace did is a good way to revitalize their company and obtain a bigger audience. I think, that social media sites such as Myspace are good online sites that help connect the world by helping connect one another through the virtual world.

Well redesigning themselves is nice, but they really need to look at what services they provide and how they are accessed. Issues of spammers, stalkers, and overall bad layouts plagued them before and caused alot of people to migrate to the more controlled facebook.
Myspace definately needs some help. It seems that hardly anyone has anything positive to say about it these days. However, the article that you describe doesn't really say how they are going to change it to bring the numbers back up. They have alot of issues to figure out before I would consider becoming active on Myspace again.
Well I'm glad Myspace is redesiging itself. It definitely a needed step for that site! Myspace has been needing help for a while now. I always had hope in it, but all these better designed and more organized sites kind of stole its spot light. Hopefully it gets better.
