Constant promos and obnoxious, blinking garbage on the homepage. No, I don't want a "zwinky." Whatever the hell that is. 2. "Cool New People" usually has at least one presidential candidate - the same one for several days at a time. I know it was probably staged before, but please allow me to maintain my denial. Yet another reminder you have sold out, myspace. 3. Eyesore profiles...even by my own friends. Half of them don't even design their own - instead, they got something seizure-inducing at i'm-too-lazy-to-make-a-halfdecent-layout.com. Much respect has been lost. And country music like "friends in low places" as your profile song? Blech. 4. Creepy proliferation of baby pictures by aforementioned friends. Yes, you have kids. Ok, they're cute - especially in that Google onesie I bought them. I don't need to see 100 pics of them. This is getting to be quite a list...maybe I should start my own blog ... it will be titled "why myspace has lost my respect" Reasons why myspace is losing traction (for me, at least)

People move from myspace to facebook, but very rarely seem to move the other direction. At least in my generation(college age). Most people I know got tired of myspace, which is understandable. For a bit there, the spam. Beyond that, music playing whenever you load a profile, obnoxious, hard to use layouts, it's just all a bit much. From there, they went to Facebook, and I have yet to see one go back. I don’t think myspace has a chance at retaining their rank, for one primary reason.

Re: this posting - I haven't looked, but have you compared data from Compete.com vs the Alexa data? Tends to be more accurate. Of course they're from Boston, so I'm biased... :) Rae – thanks for the comment on BB and FB back on my blog.

I took to Facebook right away. That said, I do hope Facebook finds the balance between monetization and keeping their users happy.

Pretty much everyone I know uses Facebook these days. I think the only people using MySpace anymore are bands and corporations. Now that Facebook is posturing to get into that market MySpace will probably start trending downward. One of the reasons I lost interest in MySpace was because of the proliferation of bands and movie promotion that was going on. I can only wonder if Facebook wants to get into everything MySpace is into, will there be a next service that will come along offering an alternative to all that promotional crap?
