NEW MYSPACE
by Gemma Winter

That's correct, you heard right, New Myspace (!) and suddenly we all feel old, myself writing this piece and you reading it. After years in the doldrums after the mass exodus to facebook and twitter, Justin Timberlake and the New Myspace team are bringing the sexyback.

Gone are the gifs and glitter backgrounds replaced in favour of a minimalist design whose quirks takes a while to get the hang of, but its worth it for the beautiful simplicity which takes its visual cues from microblogging platforms tumblr and pinterest; and combines it with a flawless streaming music player a la lastfm.

For now it is invite only with the option to sign up to the network once it goes public.
