buh bye my space
No, as far as I know the service isn’t going out of business but it has lost its position as part of my social media mix. I closed my account.
I’m not mad at them nor was there any kind of dust up between us. My Space didn’t meet my needs. My peers and prospects didn’t use it and I actually felt awkward navigating through it. It really is a much younger skewing service.
I tried My Space because to me Social Media channels need to be experienced to be judged…assessing them without participating in them leaves a lot of room for error. Even though I knew My Space skewed younger from the outset, I also knew that at one time Facebook was a younger skewing service. It evolved into something much more purposeful for my professional and personal life.
My Space didn’t fit me. That’s OK. Every Social Media channel is not for every person and that’s the key take away here, especially if you are new to the scene. Social Media is an ever evolving space and the multitude of its channels, through which we all participate, also evolve.
Each of us who participate in Social Media need to occasionally step back, review our usage and either add or delete to our Social Media mix as we see fit. And as for the channel’s themselves, the fittest will survive.
There are still plenty of places where we can get together – I hope you’ll join me on:
I’ve not shut my MySpace down, but I did mention on the site was going to. I’m already linked in and facebooked with you. Not too sure about the other three.
Hi Chris
Everybody has to figure out which social media channel works for them and then from a technical perspective – works at all (i.e. twitters constant downtime)
Hope all is well with you and you family – stay safe.
Best always,
