Reviving MySpace...Is it really worth it???

Let's all face it...most of us can't get through a day without some sort of social media interaction. Whether it be through Facebook, Twitter and oh yea, MySpace. Some of you might be asking yourselves "Is that still around??" Yes, MySpace is still alive a breathing but just barely. Recently in the news, there have been talks about MySpace being sold but is that really going to revive the site? Several years back, 2006 B.F. (Before Facebook) Myspace was huge, it was the leading social networking site. But society as a whole is always moving forward and looking for the next bigger and better thing to come along and that's when the Facebook phenomenon ocurred. This left MySpace in the dust with barely a leg to stand on when it's users transferred over.

REVIVING MYSPACE

The sale of MySpace can be seen as an opportunity for the site to regain some ground in the social media market but with the Facbeook giant still in the game how much can MySpace really come back? One option could be to COMPLETELY REVAMP the site, new logo, new image, new site. Something completely void of what it once was. That way, users don't assimilate the two and remove the negativity that surrounds MySpace and how it has been left behind. In other words, make users feel like they are on a brand new site.

Another strategy could be to gear itself towards musicians. After all MySpace music is something that Facebook hasn't quite duplicated and MySpace helped launch the careers musicians and artists. Myspace allowed for musicians to post their music, show dates etc, giving fans easy access to their favorite musicians. In this case, look at local miami band, Nobody's Hero. Here you can see what they are up to. MySpace could enahnce the features of their site to facilitate more interaction between fans and artists. In reality, the only way for MySpace to have somewhat of a comeback would be to change itself completely but let's be honest how much good can that do? With over 500 million active users currently on Facebook and eusers filling up their profiles with their entire lives (pictures, thoughts, friends, videos etc) but will we be willing to go back? The drastic attempts to revive MySpace may not be worth and it just may be time to move on...most of us already have.
