Remember that old social networking site called MySpace? Turns out that it still exists — for now anyway.

ZDNet reports that statistics gathered up by Internet data tracking site comScore are showing that MySpace is quickly dying. In the last month alone, the social network lost 10 million users — and that's following abandonment by over 50 million people in the prior year.

According to the Telegraph, this means that MySpace is left with about 63 million users. To put that number into perspective, consider that Facebook has more than 600 million active users right now and MySpace had about 180 million during its height in 2007.

These statistics, the pattern of user loss, and various reports of job cuts are fueling speculation that MySpace might not make it through this year.

We'll see what happens, but for now we're not exactly bothering to pretty up our old MySpace profiles in hopes that they'll have a purpose again.

I can see that. I haven't even bothered to go onto Myspace in the last couple of years. I'm sure something will come along that will end facebook though.

I think that's called Twitter.

I dunno if I should kill my MySpace Page.:confused:

From what I've seen in recent years - the only people who actively still use MySpace are those with something they want to promote.

A lot of independent artists still use it to promote their music/bands.
Independent production companies promote their new movies.

Also, a lot of the local bars/clubs around my area still actively update their MySpace pages.


For everyone else, they have all moved on to Facebook.

I have noticed the same things that JamesG mentioned. There are several indie bands and artists in my area that their update MySpace pages.ill Only a few of my friends still MySpace.

MySpace is better, but I use facebook since nobody else uses MySpace.

Whenever I check MySpace I get a bunch of music and movie friend requests. I accept them all since I don't care.

MySpace deleted my 2005 comments which is pretty lame.

Myspace is the "CD" of Social networking sites-lol

I thing I always hated about my space is the navigation of the site is so slow. Compare to how fast facebook loads.
