Things aren't looking up for MySpace these days, but the site remains one of the most popular online (50m people in the US visit it every month) and the people behind it are ready to experiment. Tonight we were sent a link to one experiment that looks great - a photo-heavy, curated celebrity and news portal to drive subscriptions to topic streams and liven up your MySpace news feed.

The project is clearly unfinished and it hasn't been discussed anywhere we can find, but it's publicly accessible at MySpace.com/Everything and it looks quite good. The code underneath says it's powered by CrowdFusion, the dream-CMS (content management system) built by Brian Alvey, Jason Calacanis's co-founder of the Weblogs Inc. network bought by AOL.

A team of leading bloggers from the early days of AOL-acquired Weblogs Inc. has come together again to build their ideal blogging software and raise a new network of blogs to challenge top sites in personal electronics, eco-awareness and other niches yet to be announced. Calling themselves Crowd Fusion, the company is lead by Weblogs Inc. co-founder Brian Alvey and has raised $3 million in venture capital from investors like Netscape and Ning co-founder Marc Andreeson and Ross Levinsohn, one of the key players in the Fox acquisition of MySpace.

The company's first site launched this week and we got a look at the blog software powering it - both are beautiful.
