The Rise and Fall of a Web Empire

Posted on: 1/5/2010 2:39:00 PM

I can remember back a couple of years, itwasn’t that long ago at all when it myspace was the king of socialnetworking.  It was a crazy, the whole world seamed like they were onmyspace.com.  Just think back, how many business do you remember usingmyspace as their official website.  What seamed like a phenomenom thatwas here to stay has all, but faded into the backwaters of yesterday. I’m sure you have noticed, there is a lot less happening on myspacetoday than their was a while back, but why, and why is it that myspaceis beginning to look a lot like facebook.

If you ask my opinion, people have just gotten tired and bored withthe whole me aspect of myspace.  Lets face it, myspace was a reallygood, and easy way for someone to showcase himself.  An interestingconcept, and it caught on big at first, but let me ask you this: whenwas the last time that you logged on to myspace? What about yourfacebook account,  how many times do you check that account.  I knowthat recently, I would be at work and in a room of say 40 people, 10 ofthem would be on facebook, just looking through pictures, checking upon their friends, and interacting with everyone.

I am not really a social person, but even I can see the differencebetween the two, and lets not forget about twitter, the newcomer tosocial networking.  Myspace may have caught on big, but how much longerwill it be around.  I know the people who use to be myspace fanatics,and the only reason they keep coming back is the people.  Some peoplehave yet to make the move, but give it time and who knows, how few willkeep coming back.  The numbers will dwindle, as facebook and twitterwill grow,  why?  One simple answer, the people, the interaction. Myspace may have been great for your ego, but facebook actually offersyou something more addictive,  social networking focused on the Social!
