MySpace Preparing to Go Beyond Friends in Your News Feed
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.
Ohpan: The New Stuff is Always To The Right
Ohpan is a news ticker. OK, that's one way of describing it, but it's about as far removed from what Ohpan does - and has the potential to do - as calling a Tivo a VCR. Unveiled today in invite-only beta (don't worry, we've got access codes for you), Ohpan takes the concept of a scrolling feed and tricks it out until it's hardly recognizable. Atype Studios, the creator, calls it a dynamic side-scrolling infostream.

Having Conquered Flickr & Yahoo, "The Newsfeed" Is Now the Dominant Info-Metaphor of Our Time
The internet is really exciting. There's a whole lot of information on it - an overwhelming amount, even. Years ago we first looked at it in monochrome text, then we started looking at it through a search box on an empty white page. What's next? Is it huge War Games style multi-monitor displays? A swirling UI somewhere between Tom Cruise in Minority Report and David Bowie in Labrynth?
Today we're ready to declare The Newsfeed the dominant internet metaphor of the day; the cascading waterfall of updates from your friends, with comments swirling even around those - that model is everywhere now!
