Hey, remember MySpace? Remember when it use to be one of the biggest and most popular websites on the internet, and know body knew what Facebook and Twitter was? Its safe to say that those days are long gone. At least MySpace is trying to make an effort to regain what it once had. Well, at least they it tried trying to. I recently came across an article that said that reported that MySpace had fired its CEO of nine months, Owen Van Natta. Van Natta was hired to help turn around the falling website, which has been going down hill ever since Facebook became popular. Executives that work for MySpace have been trying to enhance the webs site to make it more appealing to people, in order to keep up with its main competitor Facebook. But unfortunately for them, MySpace is still considered a long lost website that is obsolete.
If you think about it, its not that surprising that MySpace isn’t as popular as it once was. Huge trends always seem to die down after a while. This is because the world is always changing and people like things that are new. I’m sure in a couple of years, Facebook wont be as big as it is now. (I personally think that in the future, everyone will have their very own website.) But the Ideology of what is popular is always changing. This is why so many things grow old and become obsolete. As soon as something is released to the public, someone start trying to make something better. Just look at how the way we watch movies have changed just in the past ten years. Its almost impossible to find watching VHS anymore. This is because something new and better came out, DVD’s. Unfortunately this same thing happened to MySpace.
As I said before, MySpace use to be one of the biggest and most popular websites on the Web. Now, no one hardly uses it. This makes me think about what other popular modern day things will be replaced in a couple of years. If Ideology is true, there will be a lot of changing trends in the years to come. I think people should just be aware that when things are popular, it more then likely wont last forever. Well, the way technology is changing today, it might not last more then five years. Its unfortunate, but things such as MySpace, and probable one day Facebook, are destined to one day fall out of popularity.
P.S. If you have any ideas about what else might be falling down hill and what it will be replaced by, you should post it. (Ex: Facebook will be replaced by everyone having their own website.) It is fun to read peoples creative ideas!
