I think this will be the final nail in the coffin for MySpace. They don't listen, they don't know what customers want, they don't care, and they won't budge. I predict Facebook will see a similar demise. The nature of social networks is that they are transient. Are newsgroups dead? Forums? No. They've been going strong since the inception of the internet, because they cultivate a strong culture -- something every community needs to survive. Social networks don't do that. They're a pile of random, somewhat primitive thoughts that don't engage and have no net culture. Discussion is very pared-back and smalltalk-like at best. In some ways, it seems that we're going back to the early 2000s. Proprietary IM protocols like Skype and iMessage are being adopted at a greater scale, and social networks are slowly fading out. We can return to an age where inter-personal communication becomes the main method of communication, and social networks will be but an ancient relic of a primordial past. I know, I know -- this is a tangent, but it's relevant.
