I don't think the death of Myspace is surprising at all. Myspace is not suited for descent people. It is full of racial epithets, ghetto slang and rap music. People were complaining in 2005, when they were ten times bigger than Facebook. They ignored our complaints. So we dumped Myspace and joined Facebook.
Well it's dying, but seems like Justin Timberlake wants to save it. I read somewhere that he and Specific Media bought it for only $35 - that's kinda ridiculous.
Some one bought Myspace for $35 million, not for 35 bucks. I don't know whether Justin Timberlake was the one behind the move. Myspace is still having millions of US members. So any one who will be buying Myspace will get a huge database containing millions of phone numbers, email ids.etc. Not a bad deal for spam mailers.
I remember having an account in Myspace but i am not using it anymore for years now, i guess. Facebook had really beaten up all other social networking sites right now just like Friendster. I think MySpace still be existing but with fewer members or users.
I'm thinking Google+ may eventually be the death of Facebook, they've got some very innovative ideas that only Twitter has similarities to. Like Circles, where you can put your friends in groups and and share things with that specific group, so you're not sharing personal things with your boss and coworkers if they're in another group Problem is I'm under 18 and they haven't gotten the underage thing worked out yet, so I can't use it
And that time of Facebook being taken over may be happening sooner than you think. Google Plus is on the way. And we all know how Google seems to make gold out of almost anything.
I haven't been on MySpace for so long. It didn't appeal to me anymore. Tons of spam messages, too many teenagers and nothing interesting. Hopefully another company can buy it and maybe turn it into a real moneymaker again.
As far as I know millions of people still use MySpace. I don't think it will ever shut down. Besides, you can connect FB, Twitter, and other social sites to it. There would be no need to shut it down.
