Myspace vs Tumblr

Myspace started first, in 2003, 4 years before Tumblr.

Why Myspace lasted

  • Musicians and a nostalgia brand. Justin Timberlake's era kept it from a clean funeral.

Why Tumblr lasted

  • Fandom, collage, and a posting style that did not survive other feeds intact.
  • Automattic bought it. WordPress people might yet be decent stewards.
