MySpace fixes

After browsing through MySpace, here are three improvements I would suggest:
  1. Make setting your own privacy settings a mandatory action during the account setup process.
  2. Offer an easy way to report spam or unsolicited messages.
  3. Help people with their layouts. There are so many poor layout choices that make reading and navigation difficult. MySpace should offer to help you customize your page during the setup process.

Community (part II)

A community is an interconnected group of agents that come together for some common purpose (location, interest or survival.)
