MySpace attempts to return to it former form by going after
the artists. Recently Rolling Stone reported a preview video of the MySpace redesigned
site. MySpace apparently will use
stakeholder Justin Timberlake to help them draw musicians and other
entertainment and creative industry people to choose MySpace as the social
network of choice.
Since the peak of MySpace’s popularity in 2008 it has lost
over 50 million users dropping from 76 to 23 million users over the last 4
years. Not only did MySpace lose its
everyday fans, it lost the artists as well. Today’s entertainment and music
industry celebrities connect to their fans through Facebook and Twitter. MySpace
seeks to change this around and after viewing the preview video I believe they
are on the right track.
The preview seems to suggest that MySpace will no longer be
the strict competitor to Facebook as it once was but it will incorporate
Facebook into its purpose and allow the user sign in using their Facebook or
Twitter user information. The plan is to focus on winning back the artists
first then they will open it up to the consumers. What is unique is that it
will allow the artist to have a place that will automatically link the fan to their
music and everything that goes along with that.
I thought MySpace was near dead, but now I believe we will
see it rise again but this time with a little more focus. Facebook will be the
general site MySpace will be the place where you market your business and
interests.
