MySpace Redesign Rides Flaming Wings of Batman

Looks like Batman film The Dark Knight is the sponsor for Phase I of MySpace’s redesign, which went live today.

The homepage features a movie trailer, which is thankfully quiet unless you push the volume icon. And things do seem cleaner and faster.

It struck me as funny that under the heading “New to MySpace?” are buttons marked “Take a Tour” and “Latino.” I indulged myself and pushed “Latino,” and now I can’t seem to get my ass back out in English-speaking MySpace. Curse you, AJAX, curse you!

Wait. I sorted it out. Just had to scroll to the bottom of the page and pick a new country. That definitely spiced up my day.
