I just had a quick look at facebook.... not an expert there by any means, but I will give my 10 cents worth anyways. I don't think myspace is going through a decline. I just think facebook is becoming rather popular in america... I mean I did a search for my NZ highschool, and it wasn't searchable... eg, no one from my high school has indicated that is where they are from. I think the second thing to note, is that myspace and facebook are 2 different entities... myspace provides a great networking opportunity for bands and other artists, while I get the impression that facebook is really a 'friendship' kinda place to for people to keep in touch. I think myspace is truely international, where facebook is at this point in time quite american. Compare them in a couple of years, I reckon myspace will still be around based on the use of this medium for the purpose of advertising bands. I think the reason why myspace is slow, is it grew too quickly. Right now there must be far more users at myspace, which will slow it down compared to smaller things like facebook.
lol.... I could completely wrong about all of this, won't be the first time, but I do think myspace is still gonna be around in a couple of years, but the facebooks and friendsters will come and go. bebo is very popular in NZ right at the moment. The preference of myspace or these other more freindship based things are kinda down to whether you are interested in interacting just at the level of friendship, or if you have other motives like discovering new music.....
and that was my 10 vents worth....
NG.
PS.... I guess there is always going to be a special place in my heart for myspace, as I did meet someone very special within the first couple of days of opening an account ;).... so bias for myspace is natural...
