Myspace me? Not today!

When I was in 9th grade myspace was the thing to have. I am 22 years old now and in college. Lostremote a social media website reports that myspace slashed 47% of its employees and is now considering selling myspace.com. I have not logged on to my myspace account for about 3 years now and I can’t say I miss it. Meanwhile, social networking has become the center of attention to everyday life. The main social networking site is Facebook and yes I know you are just as addicted as I am to this social networking site. Myspace is not the same as it used to be. In 2005 Myspace was on top and it was purchased for 580 million dollars but in today's world I wonder what it will sell for? Myspace is 100% differernt from what it used to be.  When you first go on to the main page of myspace what you get is a bunch of celebrities and music pages. Myspace changed throughout the years and its users have declined so much in the past years. What can myspace do to save itself from this self-destruction? Well it can definitely start by really figuring out who they want to target to. Is it high school, or college students, maybe even an older crowd? Right now it seems like they aren’t a social network, more like a music fan only network. According to a blog from Wordpress myspace is less than half the size of its younger rival, Facebook, and now officically in decline. They are saying that within the next five years who knows if myspace will even be around. Not only that but they saying that myspace “tried to hard” meaning that they updated the site over and over and nothing good came out of it. It’s true. When I was a myspace user things looked simple. The website today changed its logo and its looks a little funny. My________. Not very appealing. Sometimes traditional appeals to most people and most do not like change. This is also happening to Facebook but I speak in behalf of most Facebook users, please Facebook stop changing the site, and don’t make the same mistake as myspace. Forbes was definetly wrong when it said that the purchase of Myspace was "the purchase of the century.”
