MySpace gets a slight facelift, becomes slightly more tolerable

But if you're a MySpace traditionalist, don't worry, the site still has its obnoxious side. For example, when you visit the main page you'll be greeted by a huge advertisement which pushes the content about halfway down the window. Classy, right?

I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.

No, there's nothing redeeming about the facelift. It still remains that MySpace should be named MyBadWebDesignDumpingGround.
