MyspaceInfo2u - Browse Myspace More Faster

browster logo

Sometimes it can take years to download a user's entire profile, especially if they have a really sophisticated layout or if they have tons of comments and pictures. Most times I just want to get the basic information about a user to decide if I want to add them to my friends list. Enter Browster 2.0.

Browster is a little browser extension available for Internet Explorer and Firefox that allows you to preview a profile before you visit it. All you have to do is hover over the link to the profile and it pops up a window with preview information including pictures, basic profile information and music player for musician profiles. Browster allows you to surf Myspace a hundred times faster. Browster will work with any website that you visit but seems especially well suited for Myspace. Usually I'm not a big fan of "web optimizer" type apps because they ultimately slow things down but Browster really does make browsing Myspace alot more efficient. Check it out!

MyspaceInfo2u - Streaming Radio On Myspace

I have musical ADD. I can't listen to the same song twice and alot of times I can't even get through a single song. It bugs the hell out of me when I visit my friends' profiles and hear the same song over and over again. One way to solve that problem is to add a radio station to your profile. I just added a stream of one of my favorite online radio stations, KEXP to my profile. KEXP almost never plays the same song twice which takes care of my musical ADD problem. You can get scripts to stream radio on your profile for almost any style of music over at myspacescripts.com.

snapvine logo

The folks over at Snapvine have come up with this sweet MySpace add on that allows you to add voice comments to your profile. Your friends can visit your profile and leave a voice comment or listen to comments other friends have left in the same way that they leave text comments. Very cool!

As an aside, Snapvine offers some really cool service for your cell phone such as wake up calls, voice mail messages, and a ton of hilarious premade message calls that you can send to anybody. My favorite is The Breakup Bitch for people who are too spineless to break up with their significant other in person.

Found this great new widget called ZingFu that is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

I've been messing around with TuneFeed lately and I'm very impressed how easy TuneFeed makes it to share your mp3 and other music files.

You can share all of your favorite mp3s on your myspace profile with TuneFeed. The player that it embeds in your profile is nice looking and easy to use. It also supports RSS so your syndicatoin friends can just subscribe to your tune feed and receive updates when you add music. Check it out!

MyspaceInfo2u - Viewing Hidden Comments & Friend List

Many MySpacers try to hide their comments and friend lists. I'm not sure why because this defeats the purpose of using MySpace to begin with. Perhaps they want to remain anonymous and still comment on other people's MySpace. At any rate, there is a way to view them even if they are hidden. To do so, check out these simple instructions.

MyspaceInfo2u - See Your Myspace Visitor Live

One thing you might want to know is where in the world the people that are viewing your MySpace are from. After all, its crucial for me to know if the Swiss or French babes are checking me out. Well Geo Visitors is a little web app that will track where your MySpace visitors are coming from and show you a nice Google map of the world with all of your visitors. When somebody visits your MySpace, a little pin is put in a map of the world that represents all the visitors to your MySpace. This works on any web page, but is especially cool for MySpace. To add your own map to your MySpace all you need to do is the following:

1. Login to your MySpace
2. Select the "Edit My Profile" link
3. Under the "Interests And Personality" tab, select the "Edit" link next to the area of your MySpace that you'd like to display your Geo Visitors button, I chose to put mine in the "I'd Like To Meet" tab.
4. Copy and paste the following code into the textarea.



5. Select the "Preview" button and if you can see your Geo Visitor button and everything else looks alright with the section then select the "Submit" button. Thats it, you are done!

Then let the script run for a few days and come back to your MySpace and click on the link. You will then see a nice Google Map showing you where all your MySpace visitors are coming from. You can see the Geo Visitors map in use on Yashi and Wigglie's MySpace. Just look for the tiny Geo Visitors button
