Top 10 Week | Make MySpace Functional With Greasemonkey Scripts [List]

It’s no secret that the population & activity on MySpace has dropped considerably within the past year or so. I know that personally, I only go on MySpace to view messages, comments & friend requests (which takes all of 5 minutes).

Though MySpace is such a great marketing tool, why is it that people don’t use it as much or abandon it? In my opinion, the number one reason is because of all the ads (or crap if you prefer) that are plastered all over each page. Secondly, MySpace seems to be very slow in implementing more advanced features unlike other social networking sites.

Thanks to Greasemonkey scripts, I think I’ve finally found a way to make MySpace more functional & bearable so that I’ll actually go there more often. So, I’m ending my “Top 10″ week with my favorite MySpace Greasemonkey scripts. Hopefully, you’ll find these scripts useful as well.

Feel free to let me know what you think! Don’t know what Greasemonkey scripts are? Find out more here.

1. MySpace Enhanced Photos – Enhances photo album functionality. Users can view full versions of images as well as corresponding caption and comments directly in album view.

2. Custom MySpace Home – Remove ads from the new MySpace homepage and arranges your page to make best use of the space; stretches to fit your screen width. These are FULL SCREEN screenshots!

3. MySpace Mail Plus – Enhanced mail functionality & adds a frame to view messages.

4. Better MySpace Login – Helps the login page to load faster by getting rid of everything on the page.

5. MySpace Birthdays on Homepage – Just what it says, it will list your friends’ upcoming birthdays on your homepage. Since MySpace likes to send you reminders way too early, this is really helpful.

6. MySpace Comments on Homepage – Displays & automatically updates your last three comments right on your MySpace homepage. If you want to view more than the last three comments, you can just click on “view more”.

7. MySpace Remove Ad Blocks – Removes various MySpace ad blocks, including sidebar and sponsored links in searches.

8. MySpace Pic Enlarge – As you move your mouse over small MySpace photos, this script will display the enlarged photo plus a little bit of information about them in a tool tip type box.

9. MySpace Edit Profile Redesign – Adds some aesthetics to the edit profile pages & includes drag & resize textareas.

10. MySpace Clean Bulletins – Removes ads from the side of the page while stretching the bulletin to fit the freed space. By default, the script removes certain HTML tags (big, font, h1-6, small, style) from bulletins but, this can be turned off if desired.

So, what do you think? Are these enough to make MySpace a better place for you?
