MySpace is for Sale!

[browneyedgirl]

Who would've thought it. It is going broke.

My guess is Facebook helped them out----all the way out.

All good things come to an end, I suppose.

A tear will be shed for all the one night stands that were had by the help of Tom.

Shit, now where will the indie bands post their music?

[robocop656]

Bandcamp

[browneyedgirl]

Facebook is more user friendly. I kept getting errors many times on MySpace so I deleted my account a couple years ago.

i liked myspace before they forced a design change on everyone. they should have raised the song limit and made it able to sell on myspace without the design change.

I used to love Myspace... now it sucks bal****

[browneyedgirl]

Once you go Facebook you never go back...........

MySpace had its heyday for a few years, now I guess its going the way of Geocities, and the AOL homepages. Nothing on the 'net lasts forever it seems.

You have to setup your songs with a service called Snowcap (with a credit card) for people to download.
EDIT: A little while ago you did at least. Don't know about it now.

[Arkash]

Yeah, truth is that MySpace was good in its early days... it's fucked up now, and we all know what did it...
And again, truth is MySpace doesnt match Facebook.

[ggonza43]

Chronicles of an announced end I think. Not big deal, FB totally owned MS and it was obvious they would eventually broke down

[NeverendingAbyss]

Just look at how much land Facebook has!

XKCD has a hell of a staff.

And they work doing that. So they really don't have any time.

[ggonza43]

And are they being paid for that? Where do I sign?

[NeverendingAbyss]

Good question. No idea.

http://xkcd.com/

It updates 3 days a week. I dunno if the webcomics are made by the staff or submitted by people.

Still, they'll always need programmers.

?! I regret what I've said

[NeonVomit]

Myspace... is.... so..... slow......

That's the main reason most people switched to Facebook. I check my Myspace profile like, maybe once a month. It's good for bands and stuff but other than that, they've been outclassed by FB.

Yes it was still good a few months back, but the "new Myspace" just messed everything up. I still use it, to keep in touch with some friends there, but I don't spend as much time there as I used to, because it's so slow now.

[hiro23]

I agree, if myspace just switched back to the way they used to be then they would still rule the netverse.

Hey, do you really like the steelers that much? I live a few hours away from Pittsburgh. I'm in the middle of the state while Pittsburgh is all the way west towards Ohio...

Even with that, Facebook was gaining a lot of territory and it was predictible this would end like this. I'm not surprised if other social network's pages eventually dissapear

[hiro23]

True, but I'm sure myspace changing their format helped

[TwilightEagle]

Myspace was once a great site, but the new appearance ruined it. I think, that it's quite sad. On its best days Myspace looked far better, than Facebook.

[hiro23]

I completely agree, they made a bad move when they went to the new format

Very true

Oh yea, I've been a Steelers fan for many years. The NFL is quite popular here in Mexico. I'm hoping they'll have another game here at some point. I had the chance to see the Steelers-Colts Amercan Bowl in Mexico City in 2000. It was a lot of fun. It was really cool seeing Bill Cowher on the sidelines

I completely agree, they made a bad move when they went to the new format

They sure did. Everything takes too long to load, it's very annoying now

[hiro23]

I mean if something is not broke don't fix it, and what they did was the exact opposite, they put a band aid on a non existent wound.

[ggonza43]

Anyway, I wonder who's gonna buy that :w00t:

This might sound strange, but maybe Facebook will buy it. Then Facebook might get Myspace's best features.
