Stalkers and duck face makers, welcome to MySpace where it all started. Seems like the public isn’t excited about MySpace, but at least Justin Timberlake is. Timberlake, the so-called “mascot” of the team, is helping new owners Chris and Tim Vanderhook bring MySpace back into the spotlight.

News Corporation sold MySpace last year for $35 million. The Vanderhook brothers teamed up with Timberlake and bought the company, even when they knew the conditions the site was in, and decided to turn it around. “I always thought MySpace was better than Facebook. I think it’s kind of cool and surprising. I’d probably delete my Facebook and go back,” DVC student, Yanisel Rodriguez, 19 said.

The rumor is MySpace will be a mixture of Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and Spotify. Along with having a sideways timeline, MySpace may connect with LinkedIn by letting people endorse rather than recommend.

The new 2.0 MySpace will be mainly for musicians and creative artists. Artists will be able to track down their fans to see where exactly in the world they have the most fans. MySpace hopes to give the word “fan” a whole new meaning.

Not everyone is thrilled with the idea. Opposing Views user “Allie Is Wired“ called it “just another Tumblr.”
“I would steer away from it all. It’s just a quick satisfaction for people now,“ said DVC student Adam Perez, 24. “As for the bands who are trying to become famous, if they play a good show, people will watch.”

The Vanderhook brothers told ABC News that they won’t compete with other social networks, but instead will let people log in to MySpace using other social networks. It is well known that people are like a flock of seagulls for the next hot social network. Hint, hint.

With Facebook and Twitter becoming the reason why anyone has a phone with them 24/7, the new MySpace will be revived by artists who don’t want to pay to show their status update on Facebook or go through the trouble of having their fans  go onto their page and click “show in news feed” after clicking “Like.”

Having a social life, without having to take pictures of everything anyone does, may no longer be possible. Because I totally love going out with my friends and having them take a picture of their food before we start eating.
