Spacehey
Spacehey has many of the same basic functions that Myspace had at its peak, such as profile pages, [[blog]]s, bulletins, interest groups, and [[instant messaging]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-02-08|title=MySpace has been brought back to life - sort of|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/myspace-back-spacehey-b1799269.html|access-date=2021-06-20|website=The Independent|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Corbett |first=Kelly |date=13 November 2021 |title=Is SpaceHey Real?

Spacehey also has verified users on the platform. Verified users are identified by a verification check icon by their names on their accounts. Unlike other social media platforms, clicking the verified icon identifies the reason the user is verified. For example, user Marie Rousseau's reason for being verified is "Writer/Motivational Speaker"<ref>{{Cite web|title=Marie Rousseau's Profile {{!}} SpaceHey.com|url=https://spacehey.com/marierousseau|access-date=2021-11-27|website=SpaceHey|language=en}}</ref> and user Ramaj Eroc's reason is "Official Artist Account".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ramaj Eroc's Profile {{!}} SpaceHey.com|url=https://spacehey.com/ramajeroc|access-date=2021-11-27|website=SpaceHey|language=en}}</ref>
Similar to MySpace at its peak, SpaceHey aims to launch a music aspect of the website, where independent Artists/Bands can create their own page to share previews of music and interact with fans. This feature is currently in beta
