When will Myspace be dead?

mMspace is loosing dfferent demographics but, teens are moving on to different sites yet they still keep their accounts semi-active.

Myspace is moving towards a more mature audience, and stat show this, myspace was the in thing 14-18 months ago now its just something every one "has".

Yet "Will myspace be dead?" you ask? thats just like saying will google "be dead"...myspace has way to much content and a huge user base to just die overnight or die in a months time, similar sites never reached a user peak and promotion base that myspace has acquired, sure other were close but no one has seen the same extent of promo/users as myspace.

 

actually myspace does add new things like voice comments... myspace is gonna last a while unlike Xanga and YearBook(u got friends) and hi5 and others!!

 

Myspace is really SLOW though... I mean really SLOW...

 

I've not read this whole post, because its massive

I just want to give my answer to the first question.

I think MySpace will die sooner then most people think. All it will take is somthing that offers the features that myspace doesnt -- easy to use themes (built in, without code), better layout, etc.

I see myspace as the new "geocities", just like GC was massive then, Myspace is now, but most people dont bother with GC now.

Anyway, cheers.

 

Google does have a $500+million interest in Myspace, so I say... it lives!

 

When the next fad is created...

Xanga > Myspace > Next fad

 

This kinda made me laugh. Think about all the types of sites out there in the world... think about myspace now.. WHAT on gods green earth arnt they covering. I gues sports section would be nice lol ... music, profiles, networking, groups, blogs, forums, classifieds, comedians, movies, and much more ... WHAT COULD POSSIBLY come out that will have more to offer than myspace? you would need to copy everythig myspace has done.. put ur own twist on it to make it SEEM like improvments and then come up with one idea that no one else has thought about or done... that sounds easy right?? think baout how much money myspace has put into making what they already have.. think about how much money it ould take to make a site that EXCEEDS myspace right away... because if the site did not have better features right away it will be an infirior site and kids will shy away from it... just like mycrib and other wanna be myspace sites... FACT... myspace wont be a geocities site because geocities was NEVER at a level like this ... you say that myspace is going into a more mature audiance.. thats because all the KIDS who had mysapce 4 years ago ARE 4 YEARS OLDER ... meaning myspace has a user base that is loyal to the site and will be using it as long as they can... in 4 years the yunger generation will becom the mature genration as my genteration of mysapce users are now... DIE? wont... catastrophic mistake will be the end of myspace.... maybe the iceage or the "Ring of Fire" erupts.. that could stop myspace... its a thought

 

i think pretty soon. its too slow and boggy and facebook its coomin up on its tail fast

 

It's not what they are covering, its the site itself. Anyway, doing everything doesnt mean doing everything well.

Geocities was never as big as myspace is now? i guess your right -- but it depends how you look at it. me and all my mates had a geocities site, alot of mates who never continued with the web after college still use geocities for hosting lol. None of us have a myspace site, except me, who only uses it as advertising.

Somthing will beat myspace eventually, saying it will never be beaten is impossible. To be unstopable, it would need people/companies/users who depended on it. -- Like Windows. Microsoft will always be the no.1 OS, because soo many companies make their software for it (like a game). the people want the game/software, so they have to use windows.

Friends reunited was a massive hit in the uk, everyone had an account, but not as many people use it now.

I still think something "like" myspace could be made, that lets users customise their sites easier, or offers somthing slightly better and it could be beaten.

Maybe im wrong lol, but its just what i think, you dont have to agree.

 

If the competition is strong enough myspace could loose some visitors but I dont think it will ever disappear simply because too many people know about it

 

companies that own the myspace cell fone helix or halo or whatever it is with myspace moble, fox, corperations that rely on myspace advertising, all major record/music companies, and 100million users depend on it......................... yet again another point well taken

 

You missed my point there. They dont depend on myspace, they are using it to advertise while it's popular. It's not the same as if Windows was pulled, and all the companies that write software for it would have to change and re-write their code.

I like this quote i found:

Wasnt myspace about years before this craze? it was used for bands to setup thier own sites i think. Thats why i think its a passing fad. - and i read somewhere that alot of the sites arent even used on there anymore.

I think your a bit of a myspace fan fbitalian11 (It's ok, i back nintendo over any other console makers )

I've got to admit for some reason i have somthing against myspace, it could just be jealousy, or it could be the first time i tried it that it was so hard to damn used and just utter crap i didnt like it. It could be true what they say, that people over 25 just dont get it

 

a lot of these companies do depend on myspace tho... you even know how many artists are being signed because they put up a few tracks and a picture?? record lables are cashing in on new talent that they would have NEVER seen before. these cell fone companies are making fones SPECIALLY for myspace users... without myspace the phone does not exist... even in the commercial their main point is that its not JUST a cell fone "it has myspace mobile" ... it will grow from there soon enuff they will partner up with another huge company to make..................maybe a car... who knows... but fact is that the market is sooo huge and so broad that there is soo much room for all types of businesses to get up in the mix.... i didnt miss the point i expanded on it

 

we cant PM you cuz u have chosen not to recieve private messages lol.... sooo PM me?

 

they will not be dead for a very long time.. they are going wireless so no chance to outech them.. and to outadvertise also since media company owns it

 

myspace wouldn't die

 

If you ask me Bebo is probably the worst social networking site out there,in fact $10 scripts are better !

 

faceparty when tits up when it started charging for features !

 

my space will go long long,many countries members still don't know myspace so they will still be signing up.

 

LOL, Bebo is not that bad, just really sucks that it's a closed system.
