Prediction: MySpace will become retro-cool, and all of the hipsters will switch to it for the ironic value.

Lol. I predict it will die...

Prediction: Myspace will fall to the demise of Facebook.

ha. maybe in 2020.

Ooh, time to open an account now and beat the trend. Wait, what?

hmm... it's still active for musician to musician talk. but beyond that? will be a hard road for them.

Myspace will turn into Friendster or whatever that thing is called.
- Ethan
i still like myspace personally, no one is ever on anymore though... maybe if myspace were to open up the feeds a bit they could get more users back... facebook is too boring.
- Wesley Robin Guerrero
Myspace is a psychedelic trip compared to FB, or to anything else for that matter.
- Russellreno
well I don't know about MySpace in particular, but good prediction, things *like that* probably will happen. some old run-down neighborhood infested with rats and junkies gets adopted by hipsters, and next thing you know, there's an Ann Taylor next to the Pottery Barn next to the Starbucks... web gentrification?
- Karim
So MySpace is the new "Look at this f*cking hipster?"

MySpace is varied and ethnic- in my opinion vibrant. Just read a paper about the digital class divide. It also contained a study between MySpace and Facebook. The general profile leaving MySpace is white, American, 30's, higher income. The general new user of MySpace is not. You may want to consider what type of person are, before you consider MySpace a ghetto. Just saying...

Can you eleborate it. We were harping on to Facebook till just recently. Do you want, Myspace to copy your idea and everyone harping on it?
- Nitin Nanivadekar
MySpace is only really good for keeping track of bands. Most people don't log on it too often so you can't send message rapidly. I remember a while back when it was popular...messages and (pre-facebook-wall) comments flying back and forth
- Rudolf Olah
actually, i was thinking of updating my MySpace the other day. does that make me a hipster?
- Christine Lu
Given it's the goto place for anyone in music to have an easy site to stream their stuff that has name recognition and gets traffic, it already is cool.
- Michael W. May
Excellent, I agree. It will become the standard tool of choice for vintage 2.0
- TheFellowship
It'll switch to message board format and usher in the new some thing that already exists but everybody will name it as if its just been discovered for the first time.

To my 39,000 followers on friendfeed I pass you 39,000 kisses. Considering only 11,841 people live in Half Moon Bay, where I currently live, I think that's pretty cool. Oh, and I don't ghost post like Guy Kawasaki does. Every single post here and on Twitter is written by me and me alone. Well, except for that time that Arrington got my iPhone...

- Robert Freeze
Robert, I unsubscribed and unfollowed Guy just the other day because he just doesn't 'engage'. There is next to no conversation from him/his PR agents, and pretty well everything is just links back to his websites. I have no problem with people marketing their websites, but I want conversations, not just link vomit.

- Scott Gould
Scott: Twitter doesn't recommend following me, and I don't recommend following it. I do use it, though, and have for years.
- Robert Scoble
also, it doesn't matter if celebs are on twitter. the best part about twitter is that you only see what you want to see. you don't HAVE to subscribe to the celebs any more than you HAVE to read the tabloids every week.
- girk
hahahahaha
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
girk: I autofollow anyone who follows me so that my followers can send me DMs. Unfortunately that means more and more spammers and robot accounts.
- Robert Scoble
i'm more concerned about all of the illiterates who are joining. it hurts my eyes and my brain and my heart to read all of their terrible excuses for the english language. same solution as before (ie don't follow them), but since my username is @melissa now, i see them a LOT in my @reply tab......
- girk
girk: yeah, luckily I'm safe from the worst of that, although I'm watching a lot of average Tweets just to see what effect the masses are having on Twitter. So far I don't see much of any effect at all. This post was halfway in jest, but it's closer to the truth than you might realize.
- Robert Scoble
I know you do - and it was on your recommendation I started with FriendFeed (albeit, still getting into it)
- Scott Gould
LOL - it's so true. Genuine connections are becoming harder and harder to come by
- Scott Gould
I'm guilty in adding Ashton & Demi. I added them before Ashton had the "war" with CNN though. I also have Brent Spiner (but if he keeps it up, I'm going to unflollow him), LeVar Burton, Anderson Cooper and Stephen Fry. Stephen's tweets are sometimes amusing. *lol* I refuse to add Oprah or any other celeb though.
- Molly, "sorry"
I look back on the time that I spent on Twitter back in mid and late 2007 with mostly fond memories. Now, not so much.
- Chris Parton
The biggest joke to me is Ashton's declaration of the power of social media - whilst being advertised on TV??? Excellent post for those who haven't read it: http://is.gd/sZLi
- Scott Gould
I completely agree - with or without celebs Twitter is what it is and always will be. And, we can use it or not use it accordingly. So what's the big deal?
- Martha
It's just as easy to ignore celebs on Twitter as it is anywhere else!

http://friendfeed.com/e... Britney Spears' is following ewing2001 on Twitter ;
- ewing2001akaNicomedy2010
None of my family members, close friends, or business colleagues use any of these tools (I've always been the resident propeller head), so the crowd on Twitter is actually kind of fun for me. Not at all interested in engaging with the Hollywood celebs, but the the flow of the overall discussion strikes me as worthwhile, probably because I take a pattern recognition approach, and proceed accordingly. For me, the first few go- rounds were less engaging--critical mass lacking.

"microeconomics concerns things that economists are specifically wrong about, while macroeconomics concerns things that they are wrong about generally"

from Bookmarklet
The trouble and fun of Economics is that we economists study how humans alter their behavior in response to changing incentives in an ongoing effort to maximize their individual happiness. The trouble is once we figure something out you humans go and change your behavior and throw everything out of whack again. I think we are getting better but it's not a steady upward climb. Sometimes we stand on the shoulders of giants and sometimes we're goop on the bottom of their shoes.

I'd rather follow than be followed. I guess I'm selfish like that
- Pat Hawks
The people that follow you usually provide no value to you. It's cute if someone you respect follows you, but that doesn't even mean they give a crap about your updates. It's all about who YOU follow and who you interact with via DM's and replies.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Good point, Rahsheen. What good is a group of people who are associated but have no interaction?
- MVB (Grinch of FF)
The point is that you don't need 23,000 followers to be cool.
- Christian Burns
@rasheen, small point here... I don't know if Loic follows you or not, but you just provided value to him by engaging in this conversation, regardless of whether he follows you or not. With FriendFeed a lot of the value is in the comments and likes as opposed to the actual updates being posted.
- Andy Kruger
Who's Loic?
- Akiva Moskovitz
"Following"? Such a narcissic verb to start with! Where's the discussion Mr Loïc? Or are we just a crowd of "gueux"?
- directeur
so d'accord ..aggreed sir :) that's why people you don't follow ( i mean you loic Le meur ) matters less ^^ .
- Frédérick 2 Baro
Poppycock - its the value you receive from whom you follow, and the value you pass on to your followers - whether its 1 or 100,000 - that matters. Numbers don't mean squat. Social egomania is starting to get old.
- jcunwired
it not about who follows you..or even Who you follow.. what matters is with whom you engage in and if they engage the conversation with you !
- Peter Dawson
You can't know who follows without following => from quantity comes quality :D
- Mushin
Just another note, even if I just gave Loic the secret to live, the universe, and everything, he may never see it if he doesn't come to FriendFeed and look at this thread. I didn't CC Twitter and I don't think he follows me anyway, although I'm assuming he tracks mentions...

"Well I don¹t think you need the angel/small vc market to point you toward successful serial entrepreneurs. We¹ve got a group of about 20-30 in our ecosystem that we¹d be inclined to back every time they started something new. We do need to be comfortable with what they are doing (not going to back someone doing clean tech even though I¹d be very happy to see talented people tacking that problem) The other category, services with traction, clearly needs capital that plays earlier than us. We¹ve been very happy with the role of Y Combinator and that style of investing and hope to do more with the companies that come out of those programs. We also work closely with the angel community to see the things they are investing in. and sometimes we¹ll invest alongside of angels. We did that in all three of the companies I mentioned (etsy, delicious, tumblr). I can¹t emphasize enough the importance of angels in the venture system. Small VCs are good too, but there¹s simply not enough of them."

You are lucky scoble, you are well known enough to always land on your feet, even if fastcompany scraps .tv
- David Lloyd
Christopher: Om started doing his own business long before I did PodTech. And, "doing well" means "he just got funded." I knew I wouldn't have gotten funded when I left PodTech because I had no team to build out anything and no way to do that before a downturn hit.
- Robert Scoble
John: because I saw a downturn coming and wanted to hook my brand onto a stronger brand -- building a media company going into a downturn didn't sound like a great idea. I'm happy with my choices.
- Robert Scoble
Mark: FastCompany can't easily scrap TV -- at least not in 2009. :-)
- Robert Scoble
@scoble: funny to hear you talk like this-- I think you're underselling your brand. In any case, did you ever think about TV? Get an agent to see if you could get a show? Somehting like that??? Bring the message to the masses?????
- john conroy
John: TV is going to see a bloodbath next year. Why would I want to be on TV? By the way, that's not me saying that. That's Harry Fuller who used to run KPIX for 20 years (channel 5 in San Francisco). He called that six months ago and it's looking very true.
- Robert Scoble
TV would be bad for Robert. Too many restrictions and they would force Robert to change the way he does things.

Sean: the thing is that this isn't just a coastal thing. It's going to affect almost every community. That's what makes it different than the last downturn, which mostly was a tech downturn.
- Robert Scoble
Respectfully, Robert, I don't think the last downturn was "mostly a tech downturn". It started out that way, maybe, but the response to the terrorist attacks slowed down everything - travel... tourism... you name it.

Louis: yeah, you're right, but 9/11 was a temporary and quick hit on economy. This is going to be far longer and deeper.
