http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/07/us-myspace-idUSTRE7364G420110407 ---link. The article is along read,but it's a good one in my opinion. The article basically goes into detail about how hard myspace has fallen and how bad there ad revenue has droped. There's also other tidbits of how my myspace was bought out and all of the in fighting of myspace's management. The article also talks about the mistakes the company made. So does anybody know what a myspace is anymore?

I remember myspace. When I was in high school everyone had one, but as soon as Facebook became available to everyone, everyone switched over. Myspace fell because there was too much freedom. People had so much on their profiles that it would take forever to load.

ya, but now with broadband way more widespread means that freedom to create a profile how you want would be a nice feature. I loved that part about myspace. I personally hate facebook, but forced to use it since everyone has it...

It started falling when he sold it to Rupert Murdoch.  That was a perfect time to sell though for Tom.  He sold when Myspace was just begining to decline due to shitty Facebook.  I can't wait till Facebook goes away.  I deleted both Myspace and Facebook accounts awhile ago.  They ruined Facebook when they let anyone join.  It used to be decent when it was college students only.  Then they let high school fuckers in.  Then everyone...  Now it is shit.  Once my family started adding me and half of the "friends" were people I barely knew for high school back in 96-00 then that was the last straw.  Facebook is a piece of shit.

You aren't forced to use it.  Don't do things just because your "friends" are all doing it.  Be a leader not a follower.  Delete that shit!

This is exactly the reason why I deleated my account...at the end is just a need created by other people, I can use skype for a better chat and leave tagging or those things without loosing much.



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

I used to use it to listen to music I enjoyed at work, however, they have even managed to completely ruin that aspect of their website.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
