Dive Summary:

• MySpace has a new teaser page and video promoting a retooled look, and the social media service is taking email addresses from aspiring new members.
• The new design will focus on letting users share media and shows off its new approach with video and photo examples.
• "We’re hard at work building the new Myspace, entirely from scratch. But we’re staying true to our roots in one important way—empowering people to express themselves however they want," the company's explanation states.

From the article:

"... As you can see in the teaser below, discovered by Grace Dent and The Financial Times’ Tim Bradshaw, Myspace is debuting a media-focused social network which emphasizes imagery, a static footer navigation bar with a built-in music player and a left-to-right timeline of posts.

Although we’ll have to wait and see if the demoed functionality comes together into a coherent and enjoyable service, there’s no denying that the design shown in the preview looks absolutely gorgeous. This is especially surprising, considering how rough around the edges Myspace has always been. ..."
