I actually have been sitting this convo out... but because there have
been so many emails with myspace in the subject dropped in my inbox
over the past few days, I thought i'd contribute...
I can't think of one example that has had this type of integrated
environment and lasted... geocities, aol? Being recent college grad
('03) I saw the fall of Friendster. I saw people stop using AIM when
they moved out of college, I saw a ton of people use Skype last year,
and not so much anymore. I see now people in college using Facebook
instead of Friendster and Myspace... these things inevitably get
replaced. Myspace won't go away tomorrow, but the site is still a
primarily a social means of keeping in touch and identity...as the
main users of this site (16-24)grow out of this stage I can't see them
sticking with it.
I don't think it matters what type of environment Myspace is. What
the experience is, what the upload process is, what the content
ownership terms are. The fact remains that today Myspace has a
ridiculous amount of traffic, and for bloggers seeking visibility,
from the sounds of it, tools, user experiences, peer environment and
content rights are willing to be exchanged for visibility and traffic.
Until Myspace goes "out of style" if it ever does, people will be
attracted to it for the sheer page views that they drive. They don't
have to do any of the aforementioned things because they are the big
dogs.
