It’s a never-ending cycle, it seems. One form of social media will fare well until it gets overrun with people fulfilling agendas and spamming everyone; a new media takes the lead and again this happens. If they’re smart, they’ll keep up their efforts to rid twitter of useless spambots so they can continue providing meaningful content!
The MySpace don’t really surprise me. Over the years they have really failed to evolve. They had built a platform that had once worked very well but forget that websites need to change and morph. They are trying now to really implement some nice changes but I think they are just a little too late.
That’s definitely true, Nick. MySpace missed the SMM boat, but has been updating a lot recently, transforming more into a music platform than a general Social Media network. Check out some recent statistics about Social Media that surprised even us in our new blog post.
Facebook has definitely taken a large share of Myspace users away but I don’t think it’s entirely too late for Myspace to make a comeback. In my mind it would probably take a large re-branding campaign. They need to find a way to win back the users that have decided to jump ship. Twitter on the other hand, I truly believe that it’s popularity will be short lived.
