  • Several unnecessary and somewhat annoying items are hidden.

Guide Review - The Adam Kramer's MySpace

The default MySpace home page is cluttered with advertisements and other items that many people consider to be junk. Adam Kramer's script does a pretty good job of cleaning the mess by hiding most of these annoyances, leaving behind the bare necessities including your Friends, Mail, Bulletin, and Account Management links. Some things that are removed may actually be useful to you, such as your network stats and featured items like new videos. More advanced users can edit this script via Greasemonkey and resurrect some of the casualties. For the most part, I think you'll find that the items you use the most are still shown and this may be beneficial. However, there are alternatives that do a better job of cleaning up and reformatting your home page. Kramer's MySpace/Facebook Black Background is a nice companion to this script.
