wcrosby, on 10/21/2007, -8/+3I'll give it a try -- just because Hammer endorses it -- and it looks pretty sweet.

snowmakerme, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1I'm not a MySpace person myself, but I can tell already that this is going to be huge in the MySpace crowd. Oh and the demo video of MC Hammer is hilarious.
- addictedidol, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I advise you not to do this. Especially since this got here via spam, and the fact that it wants your email and password.
  
  Just not a good idea.
rrwhite, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10Something like this is long overdue. I don't know how many hours my g/f has spent trying to learn HTML to edit her profile.
- aliguana, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2at least she's learning a new skill. always look on the brightside :)
athlonin, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2Hammer is such a super nice guy. He's actually got a new startup coming, www.dancejam.com
jpw204, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1This site is way past due, I am getting sick of all the crap posted on users' MySpace pages. Hopefully this will make MySpace a bit easier on the eyes. Looks great - Nice job!!

Idrive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5I think I've seen that girl before in a spam friend invite on myspace...
- Idrive, on 10/11/2007, -6/+3BTW check out http://lovemyflash.com/
  
  I use it for a flash layout and a lot of people seem to like it since it is something different than what most 3rd party sites offer.

OutThisLife, on 10/30/2007, -2/+20MySpace shouldn't have been made though.
dubloe7, on 10/11/2007, -5/+13i can't believe im the first one posting this...
buried for myspace.
0akley, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4ha, his layout is broken in firefox http://www.myspace.com/mchammer
- adooga, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2It's broken in ie as well. Not quite as broken though.
  - DeathfireD, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3it looks like crap in firefox too. Look at the comments, they scroll across the page over the borders.
cmorwhat, on 10/30/2007, -1/+6it doesn't work and it harvests your email adress not a good idea at all
pezholio, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Brilliant. Now all it needs it to sort out the horrible table-based layout of myspace and it'd be onto a winner!
adooga, on 10/30/2007, -0/+10The most recent comment on Hammer's myspace page is from the 8th of October and reads (ahem):

"Yo Hammer I had an idea. Make a song called "U Still Can't Touch This"."

I ***** thee not.
goffy59, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Thats girl is ***** hot... the one on the demo.

If you don't want to go through TechCrunch, then CrunchBase(??) then SnapLayout just to get to wtf this is talking about.
legendxx, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2anyone who has a myspace page should have their internet taking away
stgeorge, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Hammer seems to think that SnapLayout is for "clicking on friends" and that it picks out "pimpish" colors for you.
uziko, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3as soon as i did this whenever i log into myspace it severely boggs down my system, and when i log out of myspace it returns to normal it is somehow severely ***** with my system
Sayburr, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1don't do it...
davidsmero, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2You know them two got it on when the camera cut.
stickyhoney, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Duggg just for MC Hammer.
paul9290, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1No offense to MC, but anyone could make a channel on YouTube about dancing.

It's good to be Hammer, as he could get funded for a webpage that just blinks... yup that's all it does is blink.
oneon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1A friend "I use that term loosely" of mine told me he had a myspace account today. While I was never a fan, the moment he told me I knew it was over.
therealkdog, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Why doesnt it link me to www.facebook.com ?
damndj, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I really don't want to give them my MySpace login and password.

Next thing you know all my friends will receive notes from me about free Macy's clothing.
effedup, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1people use myspace still?
sm3287, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1""Now that my profile looks pimp, I get all the ladies."
kindwarrior, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I just tried it and I'm not happy. I mean Justine is cute, a fellow Mac user and from Pittsburgh but sorry: This does not work at all with Safari and by not work I don't mean merely that the editor doesn't work, I mean the content you create through this "service" will not appear in a Safari browser. Instead you get broken versions of the default layout with a graphic advertising SnapLayout. I guess the marketing logic is "Use snap layout, see how it trashes MySpace sites in Safari"
thetrza, on 10/13/2007, -0/+1i don't see why it would need peoples myspace emails and passwords. buried.
ikonline, on 10/18/2007, -0/+0I just made a terrible mistake by trying Snap Layout. What a total mess! I had no idea they would take over my MySpace page and not even let me edit it from the MySpace account. I have to go to SnapLayout and their editor is a total mess. My page's elements are all squished together and I can't move them easily, if it all. Everything just jumps where I don't want it to go. My main goal right now is to figure out how to UNDO this mess and leave Snap Layout behind, but there doesn't seem to be an UNDO button anywhere. Does anyone know how to get out of this editing system?? I want to go back to just doing this myself. I have e-mailed SNapLayout three times and so far no response. I've read all of their Help files and there's nothing anywhere that I can see about undoing and leaving SnapLayout. I feel like my page has been hijacked. There's a video on there tonight that I didn't put there - in fact, I don't even know who the artist is.
surfpichik, on 02/19/2008, -0/+0Yeah SnapLayout seems to keep you on their site... more ad revenue for them. I'm surprised MySpace hasn't done something about that being they don't allow external sites to collect username/password combos and login remotely. Haha Hammer was in the video, that's hilarious! http://www.myspace.com/myspacemarketingbible
