#43Really nice concept. I liked the map especially. I wonder about the navigation - it would be probably cool to include a lot of keyboard shortcuts scrolling up and down.
Imagine if facebook would suddenly come up with a such a drastic redesign. Half of the users would probably have no idea what is happening.

#44Latest Opera and I get insulted: Not so fast! Our superpowers have detected you're using an outdated browser. That must mean: a You don't use the Internet very often. b You're at your parents' place on the PC they bought in 1996. c You work for the government or a big corporation. There's still hope. If you answered a or b, all you need to do is click on one of the beautiful icons below, follow the instructions and y…
Works fine when you "Identify as Firefox"

#45Looks like the new digg but with side scrolling...

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
In a desktop browser? I can believe it. It's the Pinterest interface except horizontal. I see gradients, html5 video, opacity, position fixed. The only unbelievable thing about this video is the lack of loading time to load any content.
So now everything that is aligned in a grid is a Pinterest interface?
It's not a grid...

#47I'm surprised the TV part didn't get advertised yet. It's probably the most exciting part of their new service, but so far they're keeping it pretty quiet (apart from places where they try to recruit new people).
If they can pull off all the changes: metro ui, new pinterest-style network, music distribution, tv integration... this may be an interesting time for Facebook.

#48As a computer scientist and an Opera user this actually insults me: http://i.imgur.com/7k0bN.png
Ironically Opera was the one who proposed the -tag which this site uses for it's rotating LP, in 2007. [1] Way to exclude users.

#49An interesting note to this is that there weren't any ads on the site, which is not a surprise given it's a promo video.
However, given the vertical and horizontal scrolling, there's not really any way to include static sidebar ads the way Facebook does. It'll be interesting to see what they do around advertising on the site.

#50Just watched the video [1] in entirety. One point, you can tell this is a total work in progress/concept, and that the UI is also most likely staged at this point. (I make this observation based on the fact that every post had "12 Connects", "3 Comments" and "2 Shares". Surely if you put this much effort into production of a video you would change these numbers?) Anyway, features which I picked up from the video... -…
Am i wrong in saying that Myspace seemed to stay relevant for longer than it possibly should have purely because musicians and bands seemed to have an affection for it, for whatever reason? I know that even up until recently, when i've searched for local musicians, their Myspace page is still very high in search rankings, and i still often (somehow) find myself listening to local band's music via Myspace. If they're…

You mean distribution agencies have an affection for it. Myspace has been around forever, so it comes up high on Google, so the guys in charge of putting St. Vincent's music online maintain her Myspace account in addition to her Facebook, iTunes, etc. The artists themselves don't really care, they just want to be everywhere that ears and eyeballs are.
As far as this preview goes, it looks very much like Windows 8. You can tell there's people still just throwing money at the Myspace name, which surprises me. I thought it was pretty much a dead brand.
