Is Facebook the New Myspace?

Jeremy Kaplan of Fox News recently did an interview on Fox News in which he states that Google+ will take over the social media market, and that our buddies at Facebook will become the new Myspace.

Ouch.

 

 

 

I found this interview weird for two reasons:

1. The anchors made ridiculous comments the entire time. They are clearly confused with their “alpha beta whatever you call it” remarks, and awkward movements. They had absolutely no idea what was going on. “I don’t hear much about Myspace anymore,” says one anchor, “only if you’re in music,” the other one confidently states.

Um…okay.

2. The title of the article was “Is Facebook the New MySpace?” and the dude starts talking about Google+ immediately, without stating WHY he thinks Facebook is the new Myspace. Is it because Facebook isn’t innovating? Is it because Google+ is more user friendly? What are your reasons, buddy?

Not only that, but Facebook is NOT the new Myspace, and here’s why:

My grandma never used Myspace. Facebook has become important in the lives of families, because they allow a common place for families to come together and share pictures and status updates. Myspace was never that.

Personally, I think that Facebook needs to embrace the fact that Facebook is a place for people of all ages to unite. They need to stop making changes, and leave the service as is…because my grandma loves it!
