It is with great pleasure that we announce the appointment of Mike Macadaan, recently hired as VP of Product at MySpace, to Strutta's advisory board.

MySpace recently added a number of new executives to their roster, foreshadowing big changes to the social network. With Mike Macadaan as the new VP of Product, we expect that those changes will be coming soon, and address one of the community's biggest concerns about MySpace- design.

Meanwhile, we are pleased to have Mike as a member of our advisory board, especially since he is a man of action and change, and not content to be merely the handsome figurehead that he appears to be (in the photo at right). His input will prove valuable while we continue to develop our suite of products.

Macadaan has been familiar with Strutta since our humble beginnings, consulting on our first ever set of wire-frames all the way back in 2007. Back then, his Twiistup events were already the toast of LA, and he was well establishedas an industry player in the realms of design and usability. And he has come a long way since.

From Mike's own bio:

Mike Macadaan has over 10 years of experience leading companies in the context of Product & User Experience Design. His experience spans product and content leadership for companies such as TechTV, Intuit, GO.com and most recently as Vice President of Design at AOL and Vice President Product & Design for Tsavo. Mike has recently joined the all new rockstar team at MySpace as VP of Product. He is also actively involved with the SoCal start-up community as the founder of Twiistup.

We are looking forward to the changes at MySpace under Mike's stewardship. But no one here seems to know whether it was Macadaan's influence that led 50 Cent to get so excited about a photo of our founder, Danny Robinson.

Sorry, still no definitive word on just what it is that we're building here at Strutta headquarters, but there are certainly plenty of hints and rumours circulating. If one were so inclined, they could start to put the pieces together. The biggest leak thus far happened just this week on the website for Cake Labs, the guys who are handling the UI and design of the site.
