There is a mass exodus from MySpace. Or does the following sound
better? MySpace is hemorrhaging users. They have lost 20% of U. S.
traffic since June. News Corp is kicking themselves in the ass for
buying MySpace. Brick and motor companies need to figure out that when
they buy something new and 'hip', it is no longer new or 'hip'. The new
or 'hip' thing or people have sold out and are now uncool and 'last
week'.
My problem with MySpace was people's pages. Every page had so much
crap on it that you could not get to any content that might have
accidentally shown up. I remember a Simpson's episode where Homer had a
page with way too many distractions and no content. It was not until he
started putting up gossip, which is arguably content, that people liked
his 'blog'. MySpace pages had multiple videos and sound links that all
tried to load right along side all the animated graphics that your
friends had cursed you with in the comment sections.It was poor
planning and bad design.
I don't remember the last time I logged in to MySpace that wasn't to
read someone's blog entry. I haven't updated my page in about six
months or more. I bet I count as a current user.
