MySpace is just a different animal and was like a playground for people to make fantasy identities. You never really know who you're dealing with. How can a business hypertarget a fake demographic? Facebook encourages real people to make real profiles and deal with real businesses and this makes for a differenty type of social media experience.

There was a time when we didn't have a choice, there was only MySpace and we worked hard to build up a sizable database of "friends", but once there was a choice to build a real community and engage with that community, the game changed. I still use MySpace and think they are trying to adapt, but right now, my advertising dollars are going to go to Facebook, where I know who's going to see my ads.

I still think MySpace is fine for music, as they really push music and musicians, but it would take a major overhaul for MySpace to get the filmmakers (and their followers) back. Also, Facebook is a lot more appealing to a wider demographic - even people's Grandmothers are active users. They would never go near MySpace. It is what it is and maybe MySpace will have to be happy with a young, music oriented crowd - it works for that.]]> Tue, 28 Apr 2009 10:40:48 -0400
