Everybody on the internet knows about MySpace. In fact, almost as well known as MySpace is the fact that MySpace profiles have always been a royal pain to edit, customize, or make even bad looking. Yes bad looking. They start out looking horrible and with some careful tweaking you can move from horrible to bad. Then if you have too much time on your hands you can go from bad to decent. That’s about it though. That site is just plain ugly and no amount of profile tweaking can change that.

Well MySpace has just announced the first ever official “MySpace Profile Editor“. At first glance the new editor seems to be a good choice for anybody looking to tweak their profile. The bad news is that MySpace profile editor scripts and sites have always been very popular to own. Now that MySpace is promoting their own internal editor, I expect traffic to third party editors to drop like a rock. I’m glad I’m not in that market.

We all knew this day would come. If you were thinking about starting your own MySpace profile editing site then you should be glad that you are still just thinking about it. I don’t expect these types of sites to do very well if this new official editor is as much of a success as MySpace hopes. I guess they got sick of almost every MySpace user heading over to a third party website when they could be keeping them on MySpace.com by simply adding a decent editor. In the end though my thoughts on MySpace remain unchanged. It’s decent for keeping up with old friends but a complete waste of time if you are just going to log on and invite a friend to a movie. I really am not a big fan of MySpace if you couldn’t already tell. Either way though, I find this very interesting that it took them so long to add such a basic feature. They were bought for almost a billion dollars a few years ago and yet they are just now finally getting around to adding the most obvious missing feature? Keep up the good work!
