myspace is on the verge of bye bye

[deadly_habit]

Just as the new MySpace logo dropped the word "space, MySpace execs saw their own space to improve the social network evaporate yesterday as News Corp executives put them on notice during an investors call. MySpace was given less than a year to turn the newly redesigned ship around as Chase Carey, News Corp's president, declared MySpace "a problem". "The current losses are not acceptable or sustainable. Our current management did not create these losses but they know we have to address them," he stated. Quarterly losses at MySpace have jumped by $30 million to $156 million.

"Traffic numbers are still not going in the right direction", continued Carey and "we judge (performance) in quarters, not in years". He said that last week's redesign of "has been generally well received by the opinion makers in the business but we recognize the critical issue is building interest with consumers".

If stats don't improve at MysSpace in the next few quarters, a sale rather than a shut down is expected.

Less people on Myspace = more people on Facebook = increased audience for me

Just had to shut down a Myspace-related site I ran with a friend. 3 years ago traffic was BOOMING but there's been a steady decline since then which eventually fizzled into nothing. Wish we launched a year or two earlier than we did, would have become fairly wealthy.

I'm sure he has his fingers in a whole lot more pies than Myspace, somebody that [previously] successful would have gone entrepreneurial without a doubt!

Having a facebook page just feels wrong somehow, I would never have one for my music.

Don't really give that much of a fuck about myspace, tho.

Soundcloud is ma shit.

facebook is nonsense.

I'm going to stop myself writing anything more on this thread

[feral witchchild]

I should probably elaborate - in Queens, there are a lot of shitty musicians who make facebook pages for themselves and get all the drunk sluts and bro douchebags they know to "like" their pages...

I just wanna keep my music and my social shit as separate as possible...that's why I would never make a Facebook music page. That doesn't mean that I think everyone who has is like the people I described above.

I didn't get into this shit to make friends or impress people. I LIKE the fact that the vast majority of people who listen to my shit will never know who I am.
