What would it be like if MySpace was designed from scratch? Here is one example…
MySpace, it’s the biggest social network out on the web today. It has everything people are looking for in a networking environment: the ability to add friends, leave comments, message members, create blogs, publish music, and much more. It’s also one of the butt-ugliest websites out there. What’s ironic is that in all practicality, bad design (or a poor UI) should inhibit user experience, yet MySpace suffers no such fate.
I have a MySpace account, and when I did create it, I simply made it as something to occupy my time at the moment and be an idiot on the Internet (a frequent passtime of mine). In hindsight, I don’t regret my decision to make an ass of myself, but I do remember at one point thinking to myself “How the hell does anyone enjoy using this site?” Truly the answer lies in the fact that so many people are already using MySpace that even if a more successful, better looking website came along, not as many people would use it because everyone is already on MySpace….
