Lots of impressions and yet nobody but developers truly use it. MySpace isn't entirely dead are we forgetting that Justin Timberlake and Specific Media purchase

Lots of impressions and yet nobody but developers truly use it. MySpace isn't entirely dead are we forgetting that Justin Timberlake and Specific Media purchased the company not too long ago and have been working effortlessly in the background preparing to relaunch the website? If anyone should be worried it should be Google, Facebook, Tumblr and Pinterest because many seem to forget MySpace possess a pretty large catalogue of indie and mainstream music, they have licence agreements with the big four record labels, have millions of videos... People love an underdog and I think MySpace is in a prime position when it relaunches. Comparing Tumblr or Pinterest to Google+ is like comparing a motorbike to a car, both forms of transport but each serves a different purpose. Google+ haven't won anything yet and I doubt they will, the landscape is going to be marginally different come 2013.

I thought Myspace already relaunched? Or are they going to do a re-relaunch?

  They are relaunching again. You're thinking of the failed relaunch when Rupert Murdoch bought it. MySpace sat stagnant for about a year before Specific Media and Justin Timberlake bought it for $35 million. They're currently in the process of relaunching with focus being on media not as just another social network to compete with Facebook. I can't reveal any information about it, but lets just say I'm pretty in the know of MySpace happenings and plans for the relaunch and a lot of people are going to be very surprised of the new direction.

working effortlessly in the background Not sure what you are trying to say here, but I'm pretty sure someone working effortlessly in the background isn't adding a lot of value. If anyone should be worried it should be Google, Facebook, Tumblr and Pinterest because many seem to forget MySpace Wow, there is a bold prediction. the landscape is going to be marginally different come 2013 A much less bold prediction, and somewhat at odds with what you wrote earlier.

  Nitpicking of my grammar aside, I'm not making bold predictions in-fact I know a lot about the plans for the relaunch of MySpace I am just not at liberty to say because of confidentiality agreements but lets just say that when it relaunches it's going to be dramatically different, not try and compete with the likes of Facebook or Google directly but rather indirectly. I don't get people like yourself who so easily criticise everything others say instead of asking questions.
