MySpace is a Waste of Time
I will admit, I do like to waste my time. Sometimes I waste it on YouTube, or Facebook… looking through humorous bumper stickers. I waste mine – and other people’s time – on twitter, talking about useless facts and details of my life.
But I don’t waste time on Myspace.
I would like to do a survey on the type of consumers that still use myspace (besides the registered… and unregistered… sex offenders who, according to the lawyer I listened to at Wired Wednesday, pose as teens.)
Who are they? Mostly Generation X and younger (mostly younger). Kids who want to get online for entertainment purposes?
I used to waste my time on Myspace
And goshdarnit I cannot seem to delete my myspace profile. I remember in the very beginning when everyone thought Tom was Jesus and the t-shirts came out and everyone made it a priority to have the best-looking background theme. Unfortunately… Myspace hasn’t developed into its potential.
Myspace hasn’t graduated to become a business network
There are two types of internetworks: social networks, and business networks. Many networks aren’t even put in one category over the other… because they serve both purposes.
For example… LinkedIn is considered a business network. But while Facebook used to be considered a social network, it is quickly graduating to combine business and personal relationships.
I always tell people that each social network has a different purpose… Facebook is for friends and family, Linkedin is for businesses, and twitter combines them all. But the networks are changing.
Facebook is BETTER anyway
Easier to use. Cleaner. Prettier. Better applications. Does nobody disagree?

I agree with your opinions. I just recently joined other social networks (besides Twitter – been a member for months), and I am seeing the same as you. I rarely ever sign into my Myspace account, because there just isn’t enough there to worry about. On Facebook, I at least see a lot of companies and organizations listed. And Twitter seems to be the big thing everywhere I look now. Great blog entry!
