The Death of Myspace.

2009 has been a great year for me, like I have said before; I am in year 12 but it isn't as hard for me as it is for everyone else. All I have been doing is having a good time, and it couldn't be any more fun. 2009 also saw me convert from Myspace, to Facebook...but it wasn't just me that converted, I think that everyone did. There was a stage in my life where I cared more about picture comments and bulletin quizes than anything in the world, I was pretty much a Myspace whore...but all that changed when I made a Facebook...well, that's a little bit of a lie... I loved Myspace, I didn't think that there would be any other networking site that could really take over, it just didn't seem possible...I mean, everyone was on Myspace, why get everyone to change? I made a Facebook...I don't know why, I just did...I guess I was sick of the emails saying that another friend of mine has joined Facebook and they want to be my friend or whatever those emails said. I made it, but I didn't really know how to use it...and I was such a Myspace fan boy that I didn't really want to learn I guess.

My Myspace friends list started to deplete, one by one people would be deleting their Myspace and going over to Facebook...it was devastating. I would go onto someone's profile to send them a message and their last log in would be over a week ago, and their status would be something like 'add my Facebook'. It was getting harder and harder to be on Myspace...and there wasn't really much point in going on Myspace because there were only a few people that still used it.

I bit the bullet...I started using my Facebook over Myspace, within a few days I started to realize that it was better than Myspace in every way. People's updates were actually updates, someone's status would be 'so keen for the weekend' instead of 'PC4PC'. Surveys were actually applications that ask you questions and then give you an answer instead of a wall of text that you just replace the previous persons answers and hope that someone reads it. The awkwardness of making sure you keep your top friends up to date and not leaving anyone out is eliminated with Facebook because no one really has top friends, and no one really cares about it anyway.

I still check Myspace every now and again, not that there is ever anything new on it. If there is anything to find out about, it will be on Facebook, not Myspace...i haven't deleted my Myspace, I don't think I ever will... It has great memories on it and I spent ages making my profile look amazing... Now watch this video of a Myspace addict that you have probably seen before.
