The death of myspace did not come from facebook, or from a change of times, no it came when myspace thought it had to be more like facebook.
facebook is a king of social networks, it is grate for keeping tabs on friends and family, although not very good like old myspace was with meeting strangers. facebook is simple, everyone looks the same. and has the same options with there profile. it also works somewhat well for free advertising for websites and store fronts.
the death of myspace came when it took the power away from the people using it. the power to make there profile to look work and feel however they wanted. it was a one page website. they took that away and its too late to give it back. the site is full of nothing but advertisers and bands and dead accounts. the real people that made it work have all left, never to return.
now the myspacers are going to the "new old" myspace called friend project. i found this place and love it. it is the good old social network of the past, plenty of real people and new faces everyday. i feel that this sight could become one of the WWW kings of networks.
if they keep this one thing in mind.
"let the people build what they want on there page, never take that away."
you can change all the other things, be invintive, but leave there pages alone, and the people that love there one page website will stay. take that away and they will never come back.
just a thought :)
there is one thing i think would be cool. if you could pic out your emotion, and then pic out your smiley, :) well that has not happened yet, but it is a up and coming site i think you should look at.
till next time :D
