CoolChaser is a team of three: Chao Ming and Sachiko. We currently run couple of other sites, url.com - a meta search engine and clipclip - an online scrapbook. On Url.com, we noticed that many people were searching for "MySpace Backgrounds". We wondered why and figured out that many MySpace users wound up at url.com because they followed the dummy link "url.com/image.gif" on MySpace's customize blog page which is an indication of their strugge to find out how to customize their MySpace profiles. Or why would they desperately come to url.com?
We made our own MySpace account to see how easy it was to customize our profiles. But daaaang, we found out that it was actually very hard :( The thing is there's no official functionality to customize your page on MySpace nor a place to officially include a stylesheet of your own. Also, we couldn't find any sites out there that offered layouts that were actually "decent." We weren't being picky saying we wanted an award-winning layout, but we didn't want something that looked like a 5 year old built it using FrontPage.
So we set a goal to accomplish two huge questions we asked ourselves. (ahem)
* Can regular users personalize our own MySpace profiles without tinkering with messy codes?
* Can MySpace actually be beautiful?
And fast forward couple of months, now we are happy to launch a whole new MySpace layout editor which we think answered both of the questions above pretty well :)
P.S. The pictures we use for this profile is a royalty free picture - in other words, it is fictitious so please don't send us messages saying "you are hot" - it makes us feel weird.
