POLL: IS MYSPACE OVER?

 Friday, February 22nd, 2008 at 1:44pm by

MySpace seems to have hit some tough times. Since the site hit its popularity peak some time in late 2005, it seems like people are abandoning the social networking elements in favor of Facebook (and others), and are only using MySpace for its music-listening capabilities. In other words, the coolness factor seems to have worn off. What do you think?

    We need a “who fucking cares” option.

    it’s relevant for checking out music…beyond that, it is pointless

    Yeah, I think most people do only use it for checking out music these days, but I much prefer going to a bands real website (as in, their own domain) to check their material out. It’s so much more aesthetically pleasing.

    In an industry clamoring about “the experience” one loses when downloading music instead of buying the CD, why jerk fans around with the horrendous experience of navigating a MySpace page?

    Conor, I agree 100%. Myspace is slow and generic. Every page looks the same. It would be nice to not have to use the crappy myspace music player to hear sound samples. Really people, bandwith is not that expensive.

    Music is definitely MySpace’s forte. At least it has more customization options for bands – Facebook pages are all blue and white. Maybe not having HTML is better for dumb users with billions of YouTube links, but band pages really need it.
