MySpace my not be as hip as it once was, but it’s still the 800-pound, knuckle-dragging gorilla of the social networking world. Now, MySpace has officially launched a new version of itsown mobile Web site, letting users with Web-enabled mobile phones sign into the service, update profiles, receive messages, and more. And, U.S. wireless carrier Sprint is hopping on board, offering all its Web-enabled users access to the new MySpace mobile site.

“Mobile is the next generation of social networking,” said MySpace senior director of mobile development Brandon Lucas, in a statement. “Our partnership with Sprint makes it easier and faster for customers to get the most out of MySpace when they’re on the go.”

MySpace currently offers subscription-based mobile services to AT&T and Helio users, but MySpace’s revamped mobile Web site is accessible to any mobile user with Web access. However, MySpace’s partnership with Sprint is “the first direct access” to the new MySpace Mobile service, and is part of a larger plan to bring all of Fox Interactive Media’s mobile sites (including IGN, Photobucket, FoxSports, etc.) to Sprint mobile customers as part of Sprint’s standard data services offerings.

Sprint implies that accessing MySpace Mobile through Sprint provides access to an “enhanced feature set,” but it would seem those enhanced features are part of the new MySpace Mobile rollout—and therefore available to any MySpace user—rather than exclusive to Sprint.

The best note-taking apps for iOS and Android

I tested these apps for months so your notes never have to switch homes again.

Choosing a note-taking app is not easy. What note-taking app you choose depends on your needs, the platform you use, and of course, the cost. The process becomes even more complicated as it seems that there’s a new shiny app released every other week.

That’s why I always suggest choosing a note-taking app that has all the features you need and can last you for a long time. Also, don’t chase new apps. The real power of a note-taking app comes when all your notes live in one place, making it easy to spot connections between them.

Snapchat Planets Meaning: Order, Rankings, and How Friend Solar System Works

Snapchat Planets turns your best friends list into a solar system, and yes, your orbit says a lot

Snapchat+ includes several exclusive features, but few have generated as much curiosity as Snapchat Planets. Part of the app's Friend Solar System, it transforms your Best Friends list into a planetary ranking, assigning each of your top eight friends a planet based on how often you interact.

From Mercury, which represents your closest friend, to Neptune, which represents your eighth closest, the system offers a quick visual snapshot of your interactions. But what do the different planets actually mean, and how does Snapchat decide who gets which one?
