Finally a good looking Myspace: First screenshots of AIM Pages, the "Myspace killer"

TechCrunch reveals a large screenshot from AIM Pages, AOL's upcoming social networking service. User pages will reside at aim.com/[username].

This is very smart, it looks good and has a great AJAX feel to it nothing like the MySpace pages. It shows your buddies and marks them if they on or offline with blogging, pictures, bookmarks, bio and liked stories. Plus it will pull your favourite audio from AOL Music.

I don't think it will catch on with the average teenager who likes to chuck any random HTML embed (and therefore make their content unqiue) onto the page but it could attract some users looking a space to express themselves simply and all in one place, with everything there.

I am hoping though they will offer a large range of customisations like CSS, HTML, images and maybe even some professional themes?

This is a revolution of social network with delicious, flickr, blogger and space technoloy chucked into one. I will join AOL just for this!

Another Web 2.0 bandwidth hog on its way!
