MySpace Continues Its Slow Bataan Death March

myspace_logo2The L.A. Times wrote a story entitled: MySpace looks to the past for its future.

Really?

The story goes on to say, “The social networking site plans to return to its roots by pushing entertainment content and jettisoning portal-like features.” In recent months, MySpace has been juggling such new features as horoscopes, weather reports and other ridiculous attempts at reshuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic and trying to keep up with social media giant, Facebook.

Let’s face it, MySpace is DEAD. I logged on to the site a few months back and it felt like a time capsule of 2007; none of my friends had touched their account since then. It was like a massive hurricane stormed through MySpace causing everyone to evacuate and leave all their belongs exactly where they were when the disaster hit.

MySpace R.I.P.  The sad desperate tap dance just isn’t working. Get in line behind Tribe.  Twitter are you listening–you’re next!

Is anyone out there still using MySpace? If so, then please tell us bloody hell why!

    OMG! Someone call Ripley’s! Harmon Leon actually wrote two articles, although short and without much insight, without bringing up that a poker tournament was in progress somewhere in the world. Congratulations Mr Leon hopefully this may be the beginning of your recovery. Only ten more steps to go!

    michaelruark dude, don’t worry, if myspace goes under, there will still be plenty of place to troll for 13 year old girls…….. Oh settle, I’m just kidding.

    The only person over 15 that I know who uses myspace was a guy who works as a pirate… yes, pirate. He does parties, like a clown, but as a pirate. And I actually know him!

    I don’t think people will miss myspace all that much. Or twitter for that matter. Twitter is just a place for people to advertise porn these days based on my experience.
