- Hybridle, on 04/25/2009, -6/+441It would be nice if this had some units. 200,000 what? Douchbags per km^2?
- Berkana, on 04/25/2009, -4/+364Myspace slaughtered Friendster by luck and the whims of the social mob. Facebook is slaughtering myspace by design.
There's nothing as sad as an abandoned social network. Who even bothers with Friendster anymore? Spammers?
What ever happened to LiveJournal and Xanga? At one point, they were all the buzz. - xedd, on 04/26/2009, -13/+333"A year ago everyone at work used MySpace"...
Where do you work? McDonalds? - x1soundgarden1x, on 04/25/2009, -4/+257What are the numbers on the Y axis? Users? Hits per day? I'm pretty sure facebook has more than 250,000 users. Is the Y-Axis Media Trend Reports citing either social network? Gee, graphs are a lot more useful when they are labeled and mean something. Sorry, buried for no context.
- googooly, on 04/25/2009, -4/+234until MyFace shows up and outnumber those two.
- GeeZuZz, on 04/26/2009, -5/+147How on earth did Myspace get popular in the first place? I can't imagine i'm the only one who are avoiding clicking myspace links, or instantly closes the page if I didn't pay attention the the link i clicked?
Every Myspace page i've visited has always been:
- Several MB download
- Layout a complete mess
- Textual/graphical content overload
- Autoplay(!!!) loud music
- Horrible background/text contrast
Were Myspace pages different earlier when it got popular? Cause i really don't understand how it could get popular if it's always been like this... - Richandler, on 04/26/2009, -2/+120All this means is that your mom is on Facebook.
- pinserz, on 04/25/2009, -0/+80google trends is like this too:
http://www.google.com/trends?q=facebook%2C+myspace ... - MeccaYdna, on 04/26/2009, -0/+78I do believe it's actually km^3 since they're stackable.
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -11/+82Myspace is Facebook for people who didn't get accepted to college.
- DavidTurnbull, on 04/26/2009, -1/+71Man, that site is crappy.
- arizonabay, on 04/26/2009, -1/+66Okay, I suggest that Facebook is killing MySpace due to *LACK* of design -- as in personalized design. Everyone's personal page is the virtually the same: wall comments are in the same place, photos are in the same place, notes are in the same place. Because let's face it: most people have absolutely no sense of taste when it comes to web design; all too many adhere to "more is better".
With Facebook I don't have an obnoxious moving semi-translucent background obscuring the neon pink foreground text, or on-load music playlist, or haphazardly placed glittery/blinking/animated gifs. MySpace ended up being a revival of late-90s Geocities pages and I welcome its death. - Llanowar, on 04/25/2009, -0/+64Already there.

Here's the article
http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/24/dear-owen-goo ... - nerdherder, on 04/25/2009, -19/+71I hate them both.
- warp25, on 04/25/2009, -3/+53Facebook and Google certainly have their day in the sun now. However as with all tech stuff, it's only a matter of time before the next great big thing comes along. Friendster to Myspace to Facebook, Hotmail to Gmail, Yahoo to Google. Nokia to iPhones. Will be great to see what's next.
- kamdori, on 04/26/2009, -16/+64I don't understand all the MySpace bashing.
The biggest complaint is"The profiles layouts are horrible and full of millions of gifs, videos, and ***** autoplay music!!" Well yes, that's usually what you'll find on your typical 13 year old's Myspace page, or any tween in general. But here's the thing - nobody is forcing you to go out and examine these pages! You're not going to see these pages unless you're out actively clicking on these profiles. Don't boycott an entire site just because some profiles are for people with no real grasp on proper html.
5 years ago, I was still in high school, and Myspace was pretty much was then exactly as it is now. Facebook on the other hand pretty much consisted of "Select the college you attend, put up a picture of yourself - now you can message others that do so!" Even if I had been in college at the time, I would've picked Facebook just for the fact I could change the design to be nice and minimalist as I like it. Facebook didn't "open up" until 3 years after I created a Myspace profile, but by then everyone I knew was already on Myspace - why ditch an entire network if everyone I know is already on one?
Nowadays mine and my friends pages are pretty much simplified and basic, for the sake of not having time of being able to update them. But hell, if I want to look at my 12 year old niece's page and see it covered in her stupid glitter graphics, I don't mind it all. That's her way of expressing herself - I was 12 at one point too. If I wanna see my uncle's page where he shows off the cars he's painted - awesome! With Facebook, it's less individualistic and more streamlined in a corporate way. It doesn't feel like "This is Kevin R's profile", it's more like "This is Kevin R's profile, as brought to you by Facebook". And FB isn't innocent of the ***** layout - I've seen pages littered with the crappy apps and quizzes features that it all ends up looking like a big ad.
It's just all about personal taste. But, if we want to be mudslingers, then Myspace is for angsty high school kids and Facebook is for the drunken fratboy masses. - inflation, on 04/26/2009, -16/+61***** them both as well as ***** twitter.
- UselessTrivia, on 04/26/2009, -5/+48I imagine livejournal died because the blog market got much more mature. It became very easy to get a blog and a domain name very cheaply or free. The software got better. Livejournal suffered from the same problem as Myspace...the design sucked and everyone's page was hideous.
Facebook is winning because they have the best interface. - inactive, on 04/25/2009, -6/+49I use Livejournal more than myspace now. Facebook has more functionality and less retarded blinking seizure profiles with crappy rap music.
- kanojo1969, on 04/26/2009, -1/+42You would be surprised and not a little disappointed to learn how many people view MySpace pages and think they are pretty cool.
People have, historically, thought that most people in their society have similar taste, intelligence, and opinions to their own. In the pre-internet world it was quite rare to find data that showed you just how far from the norm you actually are.
Well, now we know. MySpace wouldn't look like that unless the majority of users liked it. People with a clue are a tiny, tiny minority. - nerdherder, on 04/25/2009, -4/+43No, some random site that hasn't been made yet is the future. They are all fads and never last.
- anteyekon4myst, on 04/26/2009, -3/+39Wow. That's a lot of jellybeans eaten.
- jeshakespeare, on 04/26/2009, -1/+34Tell me about it. Last year I'm using Windows 98 and then BOOM, Windows ME comes out of nowhere, how are we expected to keep up?!
- VanhookJosh, on 04/26/2009, -1/+30They made the mistake of letting it's users create their own css and html scripts. It used to be quite plain.
- edocronian, on 04/26/2009, -3/+31Facebook Curve = Amount of privacy you suckers have handed over, WILLINGLY, to the biggest people database outside China.
- supermanly, on 04/26/2009, -0/+28MyBalls already came.
/premature ejaculation
Sorry. - djbon2112, on 04/26/2009, -2/+29Twitter is a completely different type of site than FB or Myspace.
Those are social networking sites. They're designed to connect to people, share content, communicate, etc. Twitter is a microblogging site. It's a blog in 140 characters. Different ideas. - DavidTurnbull, on 04/26/2009, -4/+301. MySpace always sucked.
2. Facebook is the present - Gguillorn, on 04/25/2009, -22/+45Everyone already knows this. What's the ***** surprise, we all know that facebook has like 200 million people on it.
- Gnar04, on 04/26/2009, -0/+23actually she just went from being an attention whore, to being a slightly bigger attention whore, to being a nationally televised attention whore, back to just whore now.
- TheMu, on 04/26/2009, -1/+23I imagine the graph of ***** annoying app invites sent looks quite similar.
- bazzarr, on 04/26/2009, -1/+23The next great thing to come along will be MyBalls.
- statik99, on 11/03/2009, -32/+54Props go to MrBabyMan for passing this around during TheDrillDown. A year ago everyone at work used MySpace; a year later we all use Facebook. What'll be next?
- mrbacklin, on 04/25/2009, -2/+23im not sure if twitter is becoming to big to fast with a lack of depth, celebrities and the media are hoarding it
- JuanDCope, on 04/25/2009, -4/+24Try logging into Myspace with a low powered computer. The ads and flash just to log in over at that place is nuts.
- gracias, on 04/26/2009, -2/+22I am just waiting for the next digg killer.
- n0sferatu, on 04/26/2009, -1/+21The Y-Axis is unique visitors (multiply Y-axis by 10). The article the graph is from is here:
http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/24/dear-owen-goo ... - Fatcheeseguy, on 04/25/2009, -2/+21To see someone go from myspace friend to a MTV celebrity to a nobody is ..... to say the least insane...
Psst Tila Tequila - ElRayQuieres, on 04/26/2009, -0/+19And more people use Nokia than iPhones, but that doesn't mean iPhones aren't the "next great big thing" that he described them to be. Sorry I burst your fantasy world with comprehension.
- DavidTurnbull, on 04/26/2009, -1/+18Uh, not everyone uses it like that. On Facebook I only have 50-60 friends, but they're all people I've gone to school with or are relatives of friends who I've met.
Heck, half the people on my friends list live within 5km of me. - 7aji, on 04/26/2009, -1/+18what about facepalm.com ??
- diggnidy, on 04/26/2009, -0/+16²
- DirtPile, on 04/26/2009, -0/+16I'm still waiting for MyFacePunch.
- rye425, on 04/26/2009, -5/+211. Myspace is good for bands/music
2. Facebook is good for stalkers - Spo8, on 04/26/2009, -0/+15I don't know, man. Every once in a while I get a Hi5 email from calichick16 who saw my profile and thinks I look cool and wants to cam chat. She seems pretty legit.
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -2/+17Punk kids work in law offices?
- schnikies79, on 04/26/2009, -3/+17I know every single one of my friends on facebook.
- xParker, on 04/25/2009, -16/+30twitter. a fair bit of people on my facebook friends list are signing up for twitter recently. I'm not sure if it will take over facebook like facebook did to myspace though
- SwiftKick34, on 04/26/2009, -1/+15This is actually true. I've been interning in a law office, and all of the punk kids I work with have MySpace pages, not one Facebook thus far.
