let’s be serious, myspace has huge problems- they’re driving away their hardcore users. a lot of people have told me that they only use facebook now and have erased their myspace profiles. even worse, myspace has done such a poor job improving their services that a lot of older users are still completely unaware as to what apps are or that you can update your status instead of your profile name. much of the website still has that half-assed implemented feel that it always has had. the calendar application is horrible and doesn’t integrate with anything off the website. you can no longer put images in your bulletins or profiles unless you use css (because it violates the tos.) don’t get me started about the invasive ads that are starting to appear on the music player… myspace has more problems than flat growth.
