MySpace launches Profile 2.0

More customisation and privacy options

MySpace Launches Profile 2.0 0

11 November 2008 12:31 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

MySpace has announced the launch of Profile 2.0, that it says is the next step in the site's global redesign.

The revamps will let users customise the appearance of their profiles using a new drag-and-drop user interface.

"Profile 2.0 is everything users have been asking for", said Tom Anderson, president and co-founder of MySpace.

"You can now make your profile look different to different groups of friends. It gives users the privacy and customization they want."

The key features included in Profile 2.0 are drag and drop modules to create new profile layouts, the option for users to display certain info on their profile to chosen groups of friends and 50 new profile styles and themes.

Perhaps learning from rival Facebook's new look, that proved unpopular with some users, the Profile 2.0 is very much an opt-in option - with the choice to return to the old look at any point.

  • Beware of Profile 2.0 if you have a private page. I switched to 2.0 and now if I log out and do a search on myself, my profile is accessible to anyone. Getting in touch with myspace to report these problems is nearly impossible and what is even more frustrating is that I can't figure out how to switch back to the old profile even though they say you can.
