Curious to know what you all think of the resurrection of My Space. Will you participate? Can it reinvent itself enough to be effective and a contender?

Considering FB passed the 1 Billion users mark in September…

Will it be a ‘must have’ or is it another ‘oh, please not something else!’

@mholandez by your comments then, perhaps more for enjoyment than business, at least to start? Of course, many of us did that with Facebook, too…

@mholandez That is one school of thought, but the other I posed is the ‘overwhelm’ people (especially small biz owners) have about social media in general. Adding another channel to integrate and figure out is expensive in time or outsourced dollars.

And, full disclosure–I never had a MySpace account- I was an early LinkedIn adopter but avoided the My Space area, other than monitoring my son’s account a bit for safety. And I know many business people in the same boat.

From my perspective as a marketer, it does give me one more thing to learn well, so I can effectively work with my clients–even if I partner with someone else, I need to understand the basics enough to handle the planning calendar and communications for clients.

But, on point is your comment about the type of business, as well as their target market. It might be good to get an account, lurk, watch and learn to get a handle on who’s on it and what they are doing. They will be figuring a way to monetize, so ultimately there will be something for business.

In the end, if it’s good for the business and can give an edge, it might be worth trying. The $60,000 question (what’s the inflation-adjusted amount for that?) is when?

There are already Facebook, Twitter and Google+ made their position strong in the area of social networking then this is one more to come, it’s could be exciting for their existing users but, i donot think more users will come and use this new social media by leaving their facebook profile:-)http://www.kaushalam.com/internet-marketing-seo-services.html

I had a few myspace accounts back in the day…i kept on forgetting my credentials and it was too easy to just start a new account. 

I mostly just used it to keep on top of small bands that I liked. 

Can it make a come back? Since Michael Dell once famously said that Apple should close shop, sell off its assets and pay back its creditors…I’d have to say it’s possible.
