Thanks to the Digg effect it seems, MYSpace have fixed a giant hole that could allow anyone to view private profiles!
So it looks like now that this backdoor was on DIGG.COM, Myspace has fixed this huge, gaping security hole - Kudos to Myspace for that. But lets not forget that this little 'bug' has [...]
When I first started on MySpace, the first thing I did like everyone else, was fill in the sections in your profile!
Your Header, About Me, I’d Like to Meet, Interests, etc.
Only problem is, it’s all a bit too similar to everyone else - so the first thing I did was find a workaround so I [...]
Petsey5 sent in a wish asking for the ability to rename your top friends.
I can see his point, there’s nothing worse than seeing a load of HTML symbols with some abstract saying, especially if the picture has changed leaving you going “Who’s that?”
Personally I think a slightly more useable feature would be a Personal Alias [...]
Wish MySpace would disallow opacity from the CSS allowed in profiles - as much as I like to push forward CSS and it’s creative uses, I’ve come across far too many MySpace profiles that abuse these effects, so that you cannot see any of the profile due to the transparent tables and images - the [...]
Youths on MySpace and similar sites aren’t cautious about surfing the Web
Spyware’s threat is getting nastier. Infection rates are on the rise, in part thanks to the surging popularity of social-networking sites like MySpace.com.
An interesting read over at MSNBC - it’s always good to be reminded that you need to keep a good anti - [...]
16 pictures? Pah!
I was suprised to find you can only stick 16 pictures onto MySpace - it’s not like it’s based on file size either (as far as I can tell), so personally, I think it would be nice to have the option for more space - even if it was paid for.
How big is [...]
Wish it was easier to see if your friends have changed their profile in any way - unless they are really good and post a Bulletin, you’ll never know except for visiting every friends profile and reading the whole thing occasionally.
How about adding an “Updated!” icon/title next to a friends icon/name in the Friends Space [...]
Wish it was easier to message someone from your control panel, rather than having to visit their page, wait for it to load, and then get to a message panel.

[ED: This would link in nice with the recently updated note for friends spaces]
I came across a link yesterday to the Meez character generator - it’s a sort of dress up doll that can represent your cyber-personality.
A really useful Extension for FireFox, this unofficial MySpace toolbar can save you several clicks to get to common locations while using MySpace.

I’ve been using it for a while now, and do like it’s ability to minimise automatically when you are not in the MySpace site, as well as the drop down links that are [...]
I’ve recently set-up this site to hopefully get some improvements implemented at MySpace.[...]
I would like to see the music player have more controls - so that you could set up a playlist of your favourite songs[...]
To get you started the sections in the Profile Edit - Interests & Personality are useful, but they’re not for everyone.
I wish you could choose what sections you want.
i.e. add a new section, give it a name and then type in your details. You could have some default ones already set, that you can rename [...]
HTML coding is not for everyone - I wish for a simple WYSIWYG editor to make my profile look nice without having to pinch code from other sites and not really understand what it is doing anyway…
Also, have it in the options that you can turn it off if it doesn’t work or you’re a [...]
I’d like to see a method of being able to group friends - bit like what you can do in MSN with contacts - so for example; having close friends group, distant friends group, bands friends group, or whatever name you wish to give the group.
Strange how the blog part of MySpace, which is the least used in most peoples profiles, is the part which can be customised the most!
You can change quite a lot from headers, colours, custom headers, changing the link colours and adding your own style sheet entries - without resorting to hacks and squeezing them in [...]
Why does your screen name get repeated 11 times on the same page? If you’ve arrived at the space of the person, then I guess you should know who it is by the time you scroll down a short way - unless we are all goldfish?
I wish it wasn’t repeated so many times - or [...]
Why is this box on every page? The whole point of Myspace is for everyone to be available to each other in the netwok - so it’s really pointless and should be removed to let other more interesting things move closer to the top of the page.
Having correct number of friends viewable would be nice - I have a few that are invisible, probably due to them deleting their accounts, but my friends number is higher than it should be - not always a bad thing I guess
