Here’s something that you’ll never say again in public, unless you want to lose your “coolness” image forever…”Hey, check out my MYSPACE PAGE!” It’s over. I mean, it’s been over for years…but now, I mean, it’s officially over. In the past few weeks, news has officially surfaced that even Tom has relinquished his coveted first friend image, not checking in to his account since…Christmas! Sure, the decline of Myspace has been crumbling for years now, but seems like it was just yesterday when the perennial “first friend of myspace” achieved urban rockstar status with his dork-like image on cups, magnets, key chains, whatever. Many theories have been posted, blogged about, and commented online as to the demise of myspace, but one missing link may stand out more than the rest…myspace became too one dimensional. Facebook interfaced the business side and the casual side of our lives more effectively. Linkedin and other business networking sprung up and further split the market share by catering to the business class. Now dozens of new biz networking sites are grabbing hits by folks looking to stay connected in this lousy economy. No, you’ll never get back all those hours you spent tricking out your myspace page, but, at least you can wear the t-shirt and, uh, be cool again.
