So, who hasn't ever heard of MySpace by now? The last time I checked, there were over 112 million members interacting on the extremely popular social network owned by the leading search engine company Google. Not that's more cybercitizens than most countries and many nations combined. Now that is a huge cyberstate of differing personalities as proudly displayed throughout the millions and millions of MySpace member profile pages on the world's largest social network.

MySpace kindly resembles “King Arthur's Round Table”, because no matter who you are every new member starts out with a MySpace default profile page void of any personality and flare. In the beginning, everyone starts out equally and after that, it's up to the new member to creatively transform his or her profile page into something personal to him or her.

Since some members are more computer savvy or process a higher degree of creativity, many MySpace profile pages reflects the talent and hard work of these members. It is always entertaining to visit a profile page that employs fantastic background art and graphics. Coupled with interesting videos and music maybe followed with photos of people, places or things that is alien to other visiting members. All of this work translates into a very cool MySpace profile page.

The following list of websites are dedicated to provide quality and creative Internet tools and widgets to help make your MySpace profile page burst with personality and flare that will leave a good first impression on all who visit your MySpace profile page. Even if you already understand html, this list can make getting the job done a bit easier.

6. MyGen 2.5

   This is probably one of the simplest MySpace profile generator Internet tools that I have seen. Its instructions are pretty much straightforward as all you have to do is select one of five tabs that represent, each of the five sections of your MySpace profile page and start editing it to your satisfaction. MyGen 2.5 will generate the MySpace code to be added to the MySpace account belonging to the user designing their profile page, once the user has finished editing. A very easy editing program to use whether you are a beginner or a pro.

Finding nearly every song at the known universe

There is a giant number of songs out there at the World Wide Web. And there is Deezer! This site (formerly known as Blogmusik) has a tremendous database of them. In the search field you simply type in a song name and the music is on the way. Best thing all about is the possibility to store playlists from your favorite songs, so you can lean back and listen. Unfortunately there is no way to download these songs for "offline" use, but keep on reading, in the last paragraph i´ll show you a site where you can!

Finding the song that fits your mood

Say, for example, you search for a song that is relatively unknown. You keep searching and searching...but nothing to listen to. So you likely get angry about that. Thats wonderful! Because with Musicovery you´ll find exactly the appropriate song for your angry (and happy) feelings. Simply click on the panel that is showing on the left side. You can choose how the song should sound, more calm or energetic, positive or dark. Of course you also have the choice on different music genres and even the time from where the song should come to your speakers. Test it for yourself, it´s worth it!

Finding the song that´s ready for your hard drive

Last but not least i will show you Skreemr. As mentioned in the first paragraph this is the site where you can download songs. Basically it´s a search engine that permanently crawls the web for new MP3´s on webpages, blogs and so on. At the search results page you will be presented with a list of songs that you can directly listen to AND download with the link provided. Enjoy it.

Is this legal?

For the first two sites mentioned here, namely Deezer and Musicovery, i can say it´s legal because you can´t download the songs but only listen to them. Skreemr should be legal as long as you are just listening to the songs directly from the website, but if you download one to your hard drive it could be illegal!
