I’ve tried them all with great enthusiasm, at least to begin with. First I lost interest in MySpace as I’m probably to old to stay on a site that looks like a complete and utter mess. Lately I’ve also lost interest in Facebook and I know a lot of other people share my opinion.
Main reason is probably the add-ons which makes your page look more and more like your old MySpace page. Secondly your mail box keeps piling up with superwall, funwall, annoyingwall and other crap messages from Facebook. It’s like signing up and volunteer to receive more SPAM.
To back up my statement I had a look at recent growth trends at compete;
Twitter on the other hand is all about creative macro-blogging. It enables you to tell your friends and colleagues where you are and what you do via the web, IM or mobile, basically from anywhere, with 140 characters or less.
I’ve only just started, but I see a future. Join me if you like…
When Jack Dorsey, one of the people behind the Twitter-consept, received an award at the South by Southwest festival a year ago, he held the following speach:
We’d like to thank you in 140 characters or less. And we just did!
I’d like to hear your opinions on this, will Facebook die over the next few years, along with MySpace (MS will probably never let that happen)? And what about twitter, will the success continue?

Is it right to compare a socialising website to a micro-blogging one? Anyway I love twitter as it is on-the-go type. I don’t have to log in to the site to know what my friends are doing.. my space will die a slow death but facebook is still live and kicking when I last logged in
You might say that Twitter is also a social network as it connects you with friends in a similar way as Facebook. Main difference is that you have less ways of sharing info (which I find a strength).
Less is more as they say… and that definitely goes for Twitter.
What I was trying to say (somewhat clumsy) above is that I think we might see a shift in how the social networks will be (features etc.). And the graph was supposed to illustrate recent trends and back this up š
Ditto, ditto, ditto… š
Told “Tom” several times ages ago kind of what you said.. *Still* can’t maneuver the site for the Life of me..
Visually, MySpace is a nightmare.. Worse than Yahoo! 360 ever thought of being.. Would that, with how involved everyone is, *someone* could come up with a beginner’s guide to keeping all the images the sites allow and still have them readable..
Facebook, hm.. My “twitter” over there said almost the same.. Site is almost *too* busy for this ol’ cuss.. ACK.. š
*Just* found Twitter a few days ago.. Was without a computer here at the house so only got maybe a couple of hours at the library.. Social networking was a no-no.. Just now catching back up to cyber trends..
Twitter, I like.. Trying to get friends to adapt it to their websites.. We’ll see.. Need to take a few seconds to track down the CSS it will take to make sure my fingertips’ twittering does not take over the right side of my blog.. :))
Enjoying what you share..
Peace and best wishes from Georgia.. š
