I visited my MySpace profile the other day, purely to grab a photo I knew I'd uploaded there once. Anyway, whilst I was there I had a quick look around at my MySpace friend's profile and realised that all of them were abandoned 2+ years ago - all of them. How did MySpace get it so wrong? Or perhaps the better question is how did Facebook creep up fish MySpace on t ad nd steal all their users? Essentially the two services at that stage were very similar, they were vying for numbers on a very equal scale with Facebook the junior, then poof what seemed like overnight, we ALL abandoned MySpace.
Could a similar fate befall Facebook one day? I think it is unlikely astoo many people have too much tied up in Facebook's success and are using it to interact with their world. However watch out for the likes of Tumblr and Stumbleupon adding different social propositions beyond the FB offering thus adding depth and texture and gaining traction...
