I honestly don't feel the need to say much more, but for the sake of making this blog just a little bit worth reading here's my hope for this platform.
- The ability to customise pages with HTML never gets removed! It's a level of personality that you can't bring to the copy and paste profiles of FB.
- Make favouriting easier and more flexible - This was a feature that made people feel special and valued, some even worked harder to get in there yet I can see the feature is there but I'll be damned if I can work out how to do it.
- Search by region and interests - currently browsing for people with shared interests doesn't seem to be that hard but as this platform grows I can see filtering needing to be a consideration pretty quickly.
- Profile editor - A profile editor with IntelliSense/ shortcuts to allow for all experience levels to easily customise their profiles.
- Make it more about creativity than just music! - Problem with Myspace is it became all about music and promoting music in the end, this should be about making somewhere for people to just be interesting.
- When hitting reply - The ability to see what you are replying along side the message box.
Other more technical things...
- HTML5/WebGL integration - I can see this as the next step in taking profiles that bit further.
- More streamlined integration of services - There is no point reinventing the wheel, Instagram is a great platform for images so better integration of that as the means of sharing images on a profile.
- Refined old school template - Don't get me wrong I know you were aiming for OG Myspace and you absolutely hit it on the head, but like Myspace it has the potential to be so so so much more if taken in the right direction.
Anyway I have wittered on long enough, if you are up for chat feel free to message me, promise my next blog will be less tech driven :-)

I agree with point n. 3, if I'm not wrong it was something possible on MySpace! Searching for interest and location but also for age would be a great improvement! Did you write this desiderata list on An's profile? He always reads all the messages!
Hi there and thanks for reading and replying :-) , I can't remember but it seems a real no brainer so I imagine it must have been?!? I think it would certainly make the platform more inviting. I haven't posted it on there I wasn't really sure how reactive the dev/devs were but now I know I'll drop it on there.
