Spacelift Tempts MySpace Hangers-On with Neat Facebook Aesthetic


The typical sprawling
MySpace Page

A new app called Spacelift enables users to use MySpace with the aesthetically-pleasing Facebook aesthetic.

Spacelift lets users import pieces of their MySpace profiles into Facebook accounts within the site's structural parameters. MySpace comments are converted into the "Facebook Wall," top MySpace friends are moved, and personal info is imported as well.

Though there are other MySpace import apps out there, only SpaceLift spruces up the content so it appears native to Facebook.

Mashable has posted some before and after pictures of a MySpace page that made the transition. The app could potentially draw stubborn MySpace users more readily into the Facebook world. Others that move regularly between MySpace and Facebook may find this reason enough to leave one in complete favor of the other.

Given that an essay recently compared Facebook to suburbia and MySpace to the working class, the Spacelift app suggests gentrification is a phenomenon not limited to real-world cities.

Spacelife can be accessed here, but users must have a Facebook account to view it.

Since opening its back end to programmers, fledgling entrepreneurs have been using Facebook to promote myriad functionalities that, in some cases, boast serious stand-alone potential.
