I'm not trying to start an argument, but when do you think Myspace will finally bite the dust?

I don't think it'll really ever die, even though it'll lose its novelty status eventually (in fact, this has probably started happening already, since it's already kinda an "established" thing most people know about). When people look back on it, it will be a hot 2005/'06 trend, no doubt.

Maybe it'll get some really bad press if, say someone gets killed by someone they met on there (sad, but not entirely impossible, of course) and that'll reduce its popularity a bit. However, the criticisms it gets is really no different that what the Internet itself, especially chatrooms and Email, got in the late '90s (i.e. a haven for weirdos and sickos). MySpace is just a sublet of the Internet itself, so I think it'll be the same story.

But I think by 2008 or '09 definitely, there won't be as many people talking about it anymore, or less people will make profiles, etc. Perhaps even later this year this will start.

Not for awhile.

It won't "die" any time soon, maybe someday some other website might end up taking over for it, but who knows.  :-\\

That's what I was thinking. I don't think Myspace will ever really "die", it's popularity will die down, and it'll basically be like chat rooms or e-mail are now, something thats not a considered a fad anymore, and gets used everyday.

I can honestly say that I've never visited that site and don't have any desire to...

When we run out of self-involved 14 year old girls!
:D

I don't think MySpace will ever die.  Thanks to Carson Daly, MySpace memberships have increased majorly

Myspace won't die and it created copycat sites such as Facebook, Tagged, and Bebo. I'm sure there are more out there like those as well.

When people decide they no longer want to use it, or the owners decide to close it. It ain't gonna die just because you don't like it.

I agree with both of the the last two statements.

I don;t care about My Space other than "The Face Game" where they show you 2 girls faces and you pick which face you like better. But on a more serious note why is MySpace so hot right now i mean can't you do the same thing on like your Hotmail.com account that you can do on MySpace in terms of connecting with your friends and all that? I notice now one of the DJ's(Funkmaster Flex) who works at the Hip-Hop/R&B station Hot 97 in New York City says you can e-mail him on "MySpace" so I suppose MySpace could be good to e-mail a Radio DJ or something like that.

MySpace is so, like, 13 minutes ago...  :P

I don't really see the problem with it, I mean I've got a page, it's kinda cool just too keep up a personal page for yourself that you can edit and stuff and maybe look up some old friends on there (which is really cool, I've been able to look up some kids I haven't seen in 10 years thanks to myspace). I know some people are too into it, but generally I think myspace is nice.

I predict people you know the old-fashioned way will be called "flesh friends," as opposed to "cyber friends"!

There's nothing wrong with having online friends as well as friends you see every day or talk to every day in real life.  I've made some very close and special friends through this website.
