in 5 years will MySpace be a sidenote in Interweb history? - GoFuckYourself.com

yes - it's gonna be to social networking sites what AltaVista is to search engines. people will chortle when somebody brings up MySpace in conversation.

good riddance to myspace.

Facebook seems to be taking over.

Remember, Friendster.com?

That's the first social networking site I signed up too. That seems pretty dead now.

all these sites are just a trend / hype.
there's nothing that will actually USEFUL on these sites. waste of time

aniloscash · 04-24-2009, 11:31 AM

I have a tough time with facebook. I just dont love the navigation. and anyway they both could be better. maybe theres room for something even better.

myspace is killer for music. if the new ceo from facebook can focus the network on music and entertainment and clean up the clunky architcture they will be fine.

I think a lot of the myspace hyped has died and facebook is starting to take over, but I can see that starting to die down after a while too.

IMO, i see something that is a mix between twitter/youtube/facebook within the next 3-5 years with a LOT of mobile support. Right now there is only a very limited amount of phones (at least in the US) that allow you to record and upload video. I think once these come out (hopefully soon to the iPhone) we will see the death of "traditional" social networking sites and more of a version 2.0 where the user can have more access with mobile devices, videos, pictures, etc.

The profit in Internet advertising will decide on it all.

mynameisjim · 04-24-2009, 11:56 AM

Didn't the co-founder of Myspace step down recently? There is dissapointment over the money being made and their $100 million contract with Google expires next year.

MySpace, Twitter, and Facebook will all be footnotes in a little while. They are all very simple sites and their main contribution was to bring the average Joe into the internet age.

You are probably are right about that.

It's like Night Clubs....some are hot as hell for a while then die and close.

It's all about the social sceen and soon enough people change attitudes and what
used to be cool is now lame.

It really doesn't matter. When myspace, facebook etc finally do die off, it will be because some other lame, useless shit became popular.

True, I just hope I'm the one that creates the next lame useless shit.

New Work Method :

- Develop idea
- Run it by a really intelligent person who says "HELL NO!!"
- Make two of those stupid shits.
- WIN!

LOL you mean like twitter?

FB will be side note in 23 years

Mutt · 04-24-2009, 12:53 PM

that is a very interesting analogy - i think you're right, the social networking site game is is like the trendy bar/club/restaurant scene in major cities. they have a fairly short lifespan and the investors know it, people who create trendy restaurants and clubs are already planning the next one when the newest one opens. social networking sites rely on the same type of customer to become a hit, trendsetting 20 somethings. unfortunately the companies who pay ridiculous amounts of money for these sites don't understand how trendy/fickle their customers/users are.

not a bad analogy, but since twitter users are trending to be in the 30-50 year old range it doesn't really hold, although people in that age group can be just as fickle.

i think there will always be some form of social networking with us now, although the indivdual sites/companies themselves will be born and die as fast as fruit flies.

Yahoo Inc. said it plans to shut down GeoCities -- the personal profile service it bought for more than $4 billion in 1999 -- the latest casualty in Chief Executive Carol Bartz's campaign to shutter duplicative and underperforming products.

The company posted a notice on the GeoCities site saying it is no longer giving out new accounts for the service, which hosts user-created Web pages. The company said it would close the site later this year and will notify customers about how to save data they have uploaded to it, encouraging customers to upgrade to Yahoo's subscription Web hosting service.

The news comes as Yahoo said it will lay off 675 workers in the coming weeks through cuts targeted at certain products.

Ms. Bartz, who joined Yahoo in January, has already begun to reduce Yahoo's sprawling portfolio to focus on flagship services. The company recently announced it was closing two start-ups it acquired and tried to integrate in recent years: Jumpcut, an online video-editing service, and FareChase, a travel Web site.

GeoCities allows users to create personal pages with photos and other information, and to associate them with particular communities or neighborhoods. But its technology, designed for slower Internet connections, is crude by today's standards. Later social-networking sites, such as Friendster, MySpace and Facebook, have attracted much larger audiences.
