MySpace ‘re-arranges the chairs on the Titantic’
Cory Bergman October 30th, 2007
MySpace announced its first significant design change in four years, and social networking blog Mashable isn’t very polite about it: “In short, most of these changes are way too little, way too late, and reek of too many chefs in the kitchen. While there are plenty of new features for the homepage, they are poorly arranged and will take users plenty of getting used to, especially when there have been zero updates in four years.”
Compare MySpace’s limited progress with Facebook’s amazing transformation. Since News Corp. bought MySpace, we’ve seen very few new features developed for users, but plenty for advertisers and promoters. Facebook is smart to remain independent and retain its singular spirit of user-focused innovation. In the end, guess who will come out ahead?

I’m not sure I would characterize changes at MySpace
as Titanic deck chair rearranging. What Zucker is doing
at NBC, now that could easily be described as such.
And that ill fated ship is not spelled “Titantic”.

Response: Sounds like Apple and Google….and guess who will and is coming out ahead.
