Looking for a SpaceHey alternative? Try Ginza.
SpaceHey revived the MySpace aesthetic for a new generation. It is fun, nostalgic, and genuinely well-made. But it is English-first, MySpace-themed, and lacks the Orkut features Brazilian users still search for · scraps, depoimentos, and small topical communities.
Ginza is built for the same nostalgic impulse, but in Portuguese and English, with the Orkut feature set that SpaceHey does not cover.
What SpaceHey does well
SpaceHey nails the MySpace look · customisable profiles, top friends, bulletins, and a strong community of people who miss the old web. It is the best MySpace revival that exists.
- Custom HTML/CSS profiles
- Top friends list
- Bulletins and blogs
- Strong English-speaking community
Where Ginza differs · and why it matters
Ginza is not a MySpace clone. It is an Orkut revival · profile-centric, scrap-driven, community-focused, and bilingual from day one. If you are Brazilian, Portuguese-speaking, or just preferred Orkut to MySpace, the difference is meaningful.
- Bilingual · full Portuguese and English support
- Scraps · public messages on a friend's profile (Orkut's signature feature)
- Testimonials · written about you by people who know you
- Communities · small, topical, anyone can start one
- Buddy list with presence and retro nudge sounds
- A bichinho · a virtual pet you raise over days, and your friends help keep alive
Who should pick which
Choose SpaceHey if you want custom HTML profiles, the MySpace layout, and an English-speaking crowd. Choose Ginza if you want the Orkut feeling · scraps, communities, testimonials · in Portuguese or English, without needing to code your profile.
