Teen Internet Marketer

On April 19, 2008, Facebook passed Myspace’s traffic rankings. What does this mean?

The web is a extremely fluctuating place - and there is room for new things. I know from experience that many teens have been moving off Myspace. Why? Here are the reasons that I moved off of Myspace:

• Too many ads!
• Disgusting layout - navigation was horrible in Myspace
• Badly coded layouts in Myspace caused my computer to bog down
• The Myspace music player automatically blasted music whenever I visited someone’s page - not to mention the sparkling background which alternated between red and blue
• Too many corporate entities - it was hard to separate people from corporations in your “Friends” - you could not be a “fan” of something

Why did I move to Facebook? What “wow”ed me about Facebook?

• The news feed
• The applications - and the money to be made via applications
• The consistency of layout - and lack of obtrusive advertising
• Photo tagging  (yes, Myspace has this now)
• A cleaner image

Facebook is overtaking Myspace - because of Myspace’s failure to adapt to new technologies - like applications, photo tagging, etc. Do you have any experiences with Myspace and Facebook? Tell me what you think: does Myspace deserve to be knocked off its #1 position? Why has Myspace been spammed up, but not Facebook?
