MySpace gets a slight facelift, becomes slightly more tolerable
There's also a new video player which supports higher quality videos playing at 480p resolution. That makes the MySpace video player a lot nicer than YouTube's current offering. 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?
And of course, if you're worried that you won't recognize MySpace with its new look and all, you can always install a Firefox plugin that will alert you any time you accidentally find yourself on the social networking site.

If only it were more easier to find your friends (people make up CRAZY nicknames), and prevent people from tossing trashy codes on their page.
I only use it because a lot of people I know use it.

Somewhere I read they had been working on this design for 6 months or a year or something.. But while the site does look more up to date and overall better loooking.. The space that Brad mentioned in between the header and the login/video player is alittle sloppy, IMHO.

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