Myspace
lights on, nobody home
23 years 19 days and counting
2003. Your top eight. The first social network a lot of people remember ruining.
Why it lasted
- Musicians and a nostalgia brand. Justin Timberlake's era kept it from a clean funeral.
- It is the reminder that network effects reverse.
Times it almost ended
- Facebook was cleaner. Myspace was custom HTML. Clean won, then the cool left Facebook too.
What would finish it
- The owners getting bored. It is already a wax museum with a login.
