MySpace set to release big changes this week...

Described by some as in competition with Facebook...

Ars Technica reports, "MySpace is kicking off a major redesign on Monday of five key aspects of the site, from the homepage to user profiles to its MySpaceTV Player. With a focus on community, search, and usability, MySpace is re-arming itself in its battle for global social network dominance."

PC Magazine says, "MySpace will roll out the first phase of its redesign on June 18 in five areas: homepage, navigation, profile editor, search, and MySpaceTV player... As part of an ad campaign, an undisclosed major advertiser will take control of MySpace.com on launch day, with the full redesign debuting on June 19, according to the company... searching for people will display profile returns as usual, but results will now include tabs so you can find information about that person on MySpace as a whole, on the Web, within the Music section, or MySpaceTV."

According to Alexa Rankings, Myspace is already ahead of Facebook among
the Top 10 Social Sites. Check out the list in the Friday Traffic Report.
