Myspace still exists
- camillomiller 12y agoOk, but why?
- TheBiv 12y agoA company that wants you to come back to it's site is now considered clingy? It worked bc now I want to view my MySpace, just to see who my top 8 friends were and to see a snapshot of my life back then. Hopefully MySpace still has those features!
- sehr 12y agoMyspace has been in it's current form for years, title is misleading.
- dang 12y agoWe changed it. (The submitted title was "Myspace is back".)
- jsilence 12y agoI don't understand why all the succer overpowered social networks like friendster and myspace still try to foster their own walled garden. Why don't they put their effort behind a social network protocol that works across their platforms? That way we could some day have a decentralized social network ecosystem that works just like email. I can choose a social network provider and still interact with other persons regardless on which platform they are. The networks would then compete featurewise.
- saurik 12y agoHow soon we forget OpenSocial? Which MySpace was a big proponent of? (I guess not quite "distributed", but definitely "federated"; I definitely think it was in the spirit of your comment.)
- pjc50 12y agoInteresting, I never knew of it in the first place. It seems Atlassian have picked it up and are trying to make groupware out of it. ("groupware" = "social networking with co-workers that you have to use")
- pjc50 12y agodecentralized social network ecosystem that works just like email Arguably we have that and it's called email. More seriously, a "social network" needs "draw-in" and barriers to exit in order to exist at all. It's not an organic thing. Left to their own devices people don't broadcast their personal information in neat advertiser-friendly packets.
- tonieee 12y agoI tried to read the article but on my mobile fifty percent of the screen is taken up by a fixed image advert making it very difficult to read.
