Bigger than Google+, MySpace isn’t dead yet
- ward 15y agoIsn't the focus completely different, I thought MySpace became a hangout for small bands and the likes? (Though I assume MySpace still wants to be more than that)
- untog 15y agoI think there is still space (heh) for MySpace out there. Focus on music. Bands interacting with fans, posting new music, concert dates, that sort of thing. It's possible on Facebook right now but I really think the experience could be better (and probably plugged into Facebook). I thought/hoped we'd see that when the group containing Justin Timberlake took it over. Nothing so far.
- jrockway 15y agoWhy do people write, "XXX says a lot about YYY", but then don't elaborate any further? What does "myspace has more visitors than Google+" say about Google+? That it's newer? That there's less network effect? I'm not sure, but the author thinks I am. The goal of writing should be to provide information, not to confuse me with FUD.
- robertszkutak 15y agoI think its worth noting that many people (like myself) do a lot of things such as commenting on posts and checking notifications from within other Google services such as Gmail and Docs rather than directly on Google+.
- thesash 15y agoThe number of users is the wrong metric to measure in this debate, its the trend that tells the story. One service is growing, the other is in free fall. http://www.woorank.com/en/www/myspace.com http://www.woorank.com/en/www/myspace.com Is MySpace growing exponentially? No. They are continuing to hemorrhage users while services like Google+, Tumblr, and Pinterest see explosive growth.
- herval 15y agoPeople love to declare things "dead" and then be surprised when they find out, 5 years on, that the "dead thing" is still there, still generating revenue and still maintaining a user base. The radio, billboards, Second Life, MySpace... They should simply call it "not hip enough for me anymore"
