Myspace 2.0

[Dentafrice,]

Well, Invent and me are going to create a sort of "MySpace 2.0"

which I don't want to give away too much information,
but we need some names!

Post your name ideas below for the site :)

Something different?

www.milksaw.com

Something different?
Thanks :) thats rather, urm different?

[Oni]

Something original and unique, I wouldnt use things like yourblogs.com etc they sound boring, a completely random name, theres a list of available 4 letter .coms somewhere on the forum try to find it

EDIT: There you go http://www.dailydomain.us/downloads/4letter10.txt
Change the 10 to another number to view another list, many are now unavailable but some still arent.

[Dentafrice,]

we were thinking myzetolic.com

[Oni]

we were thinking myzetolic.com
Ha ha...look at my updated post

[Dentafrice,]

why would we want a domain like ytfh.com? :P We want a name name.

[Oni]

There are some like Fovq.com was available when I was making a myspace type site a couple of months ago lol

[Invent]

Btw, I'm using the name "MySpot" for the design; it's not the actual name of the site so you know.

[shank]

good luck.

[Dentafrice,]

thanks :)

Why the heck would ANYONE join your site when they can use myspace which all their friends have. Pointless, don't waste your time.

[Aflux]

Something unique, look at "Bebo" - it means nothing but is a catchy name.

[kyle♥]

My****.

[Invent]

"Why the heck would ANYONE join your site when they can use myspace which all their friends have. Pointless, don't waste your time." - Uh this is a project, the main reason we are making this site is to expand our knowledge. Not to get users, just to see if we can make this site.

[Dentafrice,]

Why would anyone join facebook, bebo, habbo, habbox, runescape, google, cokemusic, life, when there is myspace?

[Josh-H]

Why would anyone join facebook, bebo, habbo, habbox, runescape, google, cokemusic, life, when there is myspace?

Because they already have a reasonably large install base in the case of bebo and facebook.

How can you compare a forum or google or life (***) to myspace?

And habbo and cokemusic are totally different to myspace, they're games. Same with runescape.

[Dentafrice,]

Its an example.

Okay this, why would yahoo have a search engine? Why not go to google. Same with all the rest.

[Oni]

Its an example.

Okay this, why would yahoo have a search engine? Why not go to google. Same with all the rest.
The games are aimed at different audiences to eachother eg habbo and runescape and cokemusic is a promotional tool. Yahoo was formed resonably early on but If a search engine was founded know, however good it would almost certinaly fail. If you come up with some unique ideas for 'myspace 2.0' it could succeed, perhaps aim it at a specific audience?

[Mr Macro]

I know one of the ideas for MySpace 2.0 and i think it is aimed at teens.

Ideas:

SpacePlace
MyHome
SimpleSpace

Nice,make it in blue and red and yellow and green maybe?

[Invent]

if we decide to use the design its on then yeah I'll make it in different colours.

[Assassinator]

if we decide to use the design its on then yeah I'll make it in different colours.

Just merge the layer into one and there's a button to change the overall color i think.:D

[ClubTime]

I dont like myspace, 2bh, netlog is the best.

[Splinter]

Right everyone do you really think no one else has thought of this idea?

[LeftForDead]

If you have my in it then people know its even more of a copy

[ClubTime]

Right everyone do you really think no one else has thought of this idea?

I tried attemping to make 1 like mybobba did using vb, was hard.

[Invent]

No-one in this thread thinks that Splinter. We just like the idea of it.

[Invent]

Design idea #2:

http://uploadz.co.uk/493myspot_design2.gif

Note this is still a WIP.

Edit: Whoops, double post, infraction for moi.

Edited by micky.blue.eyes (Super Moderator): Please don't double post.

[Luke]

very nice invent, +rep

could u possibly change font from Times New Roman, cause i think it looks hideous that font ^^

WD so far

EDIT: sorry, gotta spread :(

[Invent]

Times New Roman is not on that design once :p

[Oni]

Nice bar the login box :). The username and password bit looks horrible, just have it plain or at a slight gradient.

[Luke]

it looks like times new roman :P

[Invent]

I don't really like the login box either tbh, I'll have a fiddle with it.

I'm also going to make the writing on the stickie note look more handwritten =D

Carrying on from that. People join myspace because of the features. These guys are making a project slightly similar. Just because you probably can't code something like it Josh don't mean you have to bring your ranting **** here.

[today]

There doing it for skills, experince and proof, doing something alike this can open many doors for them.

Good luck guys.

[Dentafrice,]

I love that design simon! :o

[Invent]

Yay ^_^

Myspot seems too predictable, also the template above, it doesn't have a oomph to it, it's nice, but not for a social networking site. Maybe 16 random profiles shown, an advert and if users are logged in a "People who have similar interests to you:" where is grabs your interests, finds them in other profiles and shows random profiles.

[Invent]

As said before, the site won't actually be called 'myspot' it's just the name I used for the designs.

Also the above design is still a WIP, it's no where near finished :]

[Dentafrice,]

The thing, it needs to be simple but not too simple.

We don't want it to take forever to load.

get on msn simon ;p

something like that? :]

(Name wise) :]

[Mr Macro]

Javascript technologies, i.e like Habbo Home ?

[Dentafrice,]

sort of ;)

keeping it a secret for now

[Invent]

Sorry about MSN Caleb ;l

It keeps killing my internet for no reason >.<

[Dentafrice,]

Its cool.

I am trying to figure out this drag and drop stuff.
Its useless without the SQL, otherwise I could be started already :P

[Splinter]

Do you think people will leave their myspace's and bebos because you use javascript?

[RYANNNNN]

Do you think people will leave their myspace's and bebos because you use javascript?

& most internet users don't even know what javascript is..

Also, bebo is kind of a web 2.0 version of myspace

[Nick.]

As said before, Invent and Dentafrice, are doing it for the expirience and skills. Making such a website could become useful if/when they apply for a web design job, especially is shown and mentioned in the CV. I wish them both the best of luck. :)

[Experimentals]

& most internet users don't even know what javascript is..

Also, bebo is kind of a web 2.0 version of myspace

Also, Myspace is web 2.0



Web 2.0, a phrase coined by O'Reilly Media (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Reilly_Media) in 2003 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003)[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0#_note-0) and popularized by the first Web 2.0 conference in 2004[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0#_note-graham) , refers to a perceived second generation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation) of web-based communities and hosted services (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_service) — such as social-networking sites (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_networking_sites), wikis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki) and folksonomies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomy) — which facilitate collaboration and sharing between users. O'Reilly Media titled a series of conferences around the phrase, and it has since become widely adopted.

[Splinter]

Design wise its very web 1.0 but concept wise yes it is web 2.0

[RYANNNNN]

Then something unique would be better, so you could add imaginative/creative to the CV.

[Dentafrice,]

Something like that was my intentional idea.

I just couldn't really explain it.

[today]

its nice but abit too like myspace, then again it doesnt really matter haha

[Dentafrice,]

I mean I like the style, not where everything is :P

[Blob]

Goodluck, just I cant really see why you havent got badly flamed yet. Anyone else probs will.

[Dentafrice,]

Maybe its cause we have a tiny bit of a chance of succeeding?

I have some of the AJAX system done Simon, if you can come on msn :P

[Blob]

Take it your having it for people without there javascript turned on?

[Dentafrice,]

No probably not.

Most users have JS turned on, if not go to boring ol static myspace :0

[Anomeric]

Do you think people will leave their myspace's and bebos because you use javascript?
Just to point out, Im working on a project sort of like this. They are doing it as a project for experience not for the users. Next, the Social Networking market isn't a restrictive one, you can have a profile on Bebo, MySpace, them all if you want, and as they are all free, it doesn't cost you anything.

[Anomeric]

A good design for a Social Networking site is hard to do, it would look very good on a portfolio if done right.

Children under 18 cannot run a website like this. There needs to be a team of a good amount, an office where you can discuss matters PROFESSIONALLY (Eg/ Not over MSN).

[Johno]

Children under 18 cannot run a website like this

How not? Is there a law prohibiting people from running a Social Networking Site if they do not have an office? Is there a law prohibiting people from running a Social Networking Site if they are under the age of 18?

Surely they dont have to be in an office to work professionally? If you say they do, that means that all those people who work from home don't work as professionals?

If someone works from home, they will (more than likely) use a IM Client to talk to members of their team who may also work at home. I will give you an example of this, Headscape have a "Virtual Office" where they do not travel into work everyday, They work from home and they still work professionally.

I don't understand where you have gotten the notion that you have to be over the age of 18 to start this kind of website, as long as they abide to the Data Protection Act they would be fine.

Actually almost all self contained major websites have been the work of single people, often working from home and done as a hobby, as the sites popularty has grown, staff and team members have come along, but that doesn't mean they start with them. They build up, why have a team when only 6 of so people are going to be useing your site? its uttery pointless and a waste of time and money. Websites employ people when they need to, they dont start out as massive corporations o.0

[Azul]

How about miserablefailure.com?

[RedCrisps]

"bleou" that sounds random ;]

That was what he said to me:)

[Invent]

This isn't a company and doesn't require much communication.

We create a basic login system, we both understand how it works and then we both work on seperate pages.

Well you said that i would need an office for one member of staff:s
And you didnt answer the 18 year old bit.

[MrCraig]

Many professionals discuss things over msn?

You dont NEED to have an office for anything. I hate to mention runescape, but i will,

Jagex started operating out of Andrew's bedroom for about a year until they decided to make everything seem more official (and had a lot of spare cash)

I was saying you can't run a professional BUSINESS when you are our age as its not ethical for someone our age to handle money.

[Mentor]

I was saying you can't run a professional BUSINESS when you are our age as its not ethical for someone our age to handle money.
Its not? If you read the history's of a number of prominent entreniors, you may may find some disagreement with that statment.

Plus i really dont see what ethical issue there is in it? the main problems today is all the legal burocrasy

[Invent]

Me and Paddy just had a "debate" over that.

I've decided to change "I dont think its ethical" to "I think its morrally wrong".

[Kyle™]

Why would anyone join facebook, bebo, habbo, habbox, runescape, google, cokemusic, life, when there is myspace?


Because on Habbox you talk about Habbo. Der. Got a name? Call it something random like MexBox

[Mentor]

I've decided to change "I dont think its ethical" to "I think its morrally wrong".
... that means exactly the same thing? Whats morally wrong about someone handling money at a younger age?

[Kyle™]

You need to pay tax and **** to the government lolz.

[Dentafrice,]

... that means exactly the same thing? Whats morally wrong about someone handling money at a younger age?
Agreed, handling money isn't wrong.

I get paid often to do small PHP projects, like yesterday $30, today $100

handling money.

[Colin-Roberts]

i hate to do it but look at sharpenews or w.e its called now. that's handling money.

[Grimmauld]

omg cokemusic like always errors me.. o.o

[RichardKnox]

I was saying you can't run a professional BUSINESS when you are our age as its not ethical for someone our age to handle money. Next time your on MSN let me send you the government regulations on running a professional business under 16.
