MySpace the Next Friendster: Will the social networking site lose its dominance?
I didn't make this up. I have a strong loyalty to MySpace. But I read an article that paints a gloomy picture picture for MySpace's future:"Facebook’s visitor growth mushroomed by 153%, compared to a paltry 3% annual growth for what was once acknowledged as its top competitor, MySpace."

myspace is like mtv... no matter how corny it gets, there's no denying it's impact and continued relevance... it's synonymous with the paradigm shift of how we interact and how media is shared in today's new world.... -

Where's the "neither" or "None of the Above" option? That really should be checked by defult.... and have to be cleared if someone doesn't want it.
Anyway... Less growth than Facebook is still growth. They may not remain in the top position, but that doesn't in any way mean they are necessarily going under... especially if there is still growth. -

Facebook will level off and eventually peter out just like Myspace is starting to do. I think a ton of new people are joining myspace, it's just losing a ton of existing users at the same time. Eventually the new users will diminish and myspace will become no-one's space. Facebook will do the same. Eventually something new will replace them both, and so on. -

I'm not sure. I use both. I prefer myspace. I keep myspace open all day at work. I have met some great people on myspace. I check my facebook maybe once every six months. I have had a myspace account for 3 years and will continue to use it. -

that really depends if other "frendsters" start receiving more people on their sites, if facebook or something starts finding a wider network and they slowly are so actually i think they will start to fade out, but i still love myspace -

After I discovered SH, Myspace was just boring... lol.
And facebook sucks.
Everything is confusing and stupid.
I sat there fighting pirates and ninjas for like 10 minutes.
When I was done, I said... "this is just stupid... "
hehe :) -

The internet has proven over and over again that it is fluid, trends come and go very quickly. Perfect examples of this in the past are Netscape, which gave way to IE, which in turn is rapidly giving way to Firefox. ICQ was overtaken by MSN and Yahoo IM, and now Skype is coming on strong. Yahoo used to be the dominant search engine, until Altavista came along... then some young upstart called Google showed up.
The point is, this is nothing new, and it applies to both websites and software. The internet is still in the wild west phase, and will continue this way for some time to come. -
