No Sympathy for Myspace

No Sympathy for Myspace

It's dying. It has been for a while. Just put yourself out of your own misery Myspace.

I hate to break it to you but the days where you could boast nine digit population rates is long gone and you're nothing more than a soap box for most nowadays. Facebook has long since been considered the King of social networking and since it's IPO it's been nothing if not embedded in the welfare of the very economy that invested so much to make it. Facebook has become us. We lose Facebook, the economy takes a hit. We stop using Facebook, the economy takes a hit. Embedding Facebook as an IPO was a good long term move on Zuckerberg's part but it's gonna take a while for Social Networking to die as a result and may cause the economy to fall if it does. Odds are it won't.

Social networking happens every day and is many people's "hustle" and, for many, requires the discipline of a steel wrecking ball. That was not a Miley Cyrus reference. Anyways.

Myspace is but a shadow of its former self and has long since been cast in the shadow of Facebook.

I'm really sorry you have to die Myspace, but such is life.
