Will Facebook go the way of Myspace?
No, it’s not. While Facebook isn’t going away anytime soon — it still has over two billion daily active users — if Myspace taught us anything, it’s that when the world’s biggest social media site collapses, it effectively does so overnight. It’s the Network Effect, but in reverse.
Why did Facebook succeed when Myspace failed?
Primarily because Myspace failed to innovate, while facebook developed new features like tools, apps, groups, pages etc. Myspace also turned to a model of advertising that users were not too fond of.
How did Facebook surpass Myspace?
In April 2008, MySpace was overtaken by Facebook in terms of the number of unique worldwide visitors, and in May 2009, in the number of unique U.S. visitors. This—and its clean and non-customizable design—allowed it to establish a reputation as a “safe space,” in contrast to MySpace.
What was the difference between Myspace and Facebook?
The difference is subtle but significant. While Facebook is a tool intended to support communication and networking, MySpace is a thing, a place, a new hangout site – a kind of virtual alternative to the mall beloved by teenagers. If a virtual mall is what you want, then MySpace offers exactly that.
Does anybody still use MySpace?
Myspace is still active as of today, but not anymore a go-to platform for social media users.
