I don't know if it's the interface, enormous amount of apps, or just the plain fact that it's NOT Myspace, but facebook has grown considerably in the past years. I think it's because Myspace always had a pretty bad rep because so many youngins began joining it. Facebook however started out with just college kids. Once fb made the transition to appeal to the rest of the world, it blew up. Myspace was almost too big for itself attracting spam businesses which also turned many away. I do have to say the music pages on Myspace are much more interesting than the Facebook music pages, but the quality isn't so great. In the end, Facebook is just another trend which will be taken over in the years to come by a new trend.

MySpace = High School

Facebook = College/University

Twitter = Worker/Executive/Business Owner

Nuff said.

Never before in the history of mankind has it been easier to reach out to people all over the world. Online communitieslike MySpace, make meeting new friends with similar interests incredibly easy. MySpace is a great place to share tips, ideas and stories about the things you find most interesting. If you have a question about your hobby, you can easily find the answer through your network of members with similar interests.

3 reasons I quit MySpace.

1. To much Drama! I don't know why it's on MySpace and not Facebook, but it's there.
2. Music. MySpace was great for new and unknown music. When News Corp got ahold of it, it became impossible to wade through the "popular" and "signed" garbage music to find what I really wanted; unsigned independent music.
3. Rupert Murdoch! I don't like him nor his News Corp. FOX, like MySpace, a subsidiary of News Corp lies cheats and steals to bring you "Fair and Balanced" news.

It's sad but true, Myspace is going the way of dial-up, America Online and candy colored iMacs. It was once a social media giant but now is slowly fading into internet history. I, like many others, have recently made a complete move to Facebook. I'm sure we will all remember MySpace fondly but it might be time for MySpace to bow out of the social networking world gracefully.

You should check out Friendster, I think it's coming back.

I agree, it is much easier and cheeper to set up a myspace page than your own website.

I think that precipitous drop might have something to do with the fact that MySpace masks all external links and reroutes them to a "Are you sure you want to click that link??" page. Super fail on that, regardless, but I certainly believe it leads to people clicking out of MySpace less often.

...I do think MySpace is on the ropes, but these figures measure the wrong thing. Percentage of traffic may not be telling the true story as the volume of traffic may have increased drastically overall.

In such a case, the actual activity for MySpace may remain constant or increase, but the new players plus the overall increase in traffic may still show them with decreasing percentage.

Palm once had 70% of the PDA market, and in one particular year their total sales rose considerably but their market share dropped by over 30 points as new players came online and as consumer acceptance of the product class exploded.

MySpace should act like they have an emergency over there for sure. But these figures may not tell an accurate story.

It’s fierce competition from rivals such as facebook and bebo that’s to blame for the declining popularity myspace has succumbed to in recent years.

Personally, I feel MySpace Music has become a spam wasteland of late...as a singer/songwriter with a music page on MySpace, nearly every message I've gotten over the past months has been spam, the pages are filled with spamm-y comments and friend requests are just covers for spam. Without MySpace addressing those issues, I believe MySpace Music will continue to decline in both influence and interest.

This was coming long ago, they should have foreseen it. MySpace was killed by Facebook long time ago as a social site, and now it's not doing good as music site either. 99% Of MS pages make my eyes bleed, it's so horrible.

Myspace is kinda boring in its style. Think about twitter, digg, youtube. And it takes up only the european and american market. Besides, facebook attract more ppl than that - asians, enormous population.

This is great news. I think I can count on one hand the number of MySpace pages I've seen that didn't make my eyes bleed. The sooner bands decide to stop using it instead of having their own decent looking sites, the better.

It will die off in no time. There are just too many of these in the internet today.
