Worst choice(s) MySpace ever made? Once the most popular social networking site ...what went wrong?

Myspace was destined to fail from the beginning. I don't believe that it was a choice(s) that caused the failure. It was a lack of choices.

If you take a macro look at Myspace, what is it? It's a static poster of you. You make your profile, people read it, that's the end of it.

If you change things, your friends will be alerted that you made a change, but what is the change? They have to sift through your entire profile to find what is different and it can be something as small as putting an extra! Somewhere.

They introduced apps and games but they don't interact with your page or your friends except in the activity feed that is often slow to update. So what does it do? Not very much.

The one issue that was its biggest draw and may have contributed to its fall was the profile customization. IT allowed you to make your profile look however you wanted it to. This caused people to dress it up beyond what was reasonable.

Music started playing automatically and everything was animated. It slowed down the loading of profiles to a point that wasn't reasonable anymore. Facebook came along and offered interactivity without the glitz and glamour.

People are truly connecting on FB. Even the name "myspace" doesn't make it feel welcoming or social, does it?

In my opinion, MySpace's decision to allow users to customize their profiles by adding arbitrary CCS code was a huge mistake. This was not only a security risk, but most casual internet users (especially MySpace's core demographic) do not have the best eye for design. This allowed for horribly ugly pages with flaws such as: * Mismatched font foreground and background colors.

* Multiple embedded videos/media players that all start at the same time which play over each other and are buried within the page making them difficult to find and stop. * Poorly designed CCS code resulting in overlapping page areas, misaligned tables, and ugly layouts * Animated glitter graphic GIFs This became rampant in MySpace's hayday. It made many MySpace profiles irritating and frustrating to view, and MySpace became (and still sort of is) the butt of so many jokes on the topic.

Other then that, I would say also invasive ads and new features/differentiation from competing social networks (like Facebook) played a role in their downfall.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
