Myspace & Detailing Its Decline With Long Island Advertising Agencies

Posted on 12. Apr, 2015 by Katie Arden in Online Business

It’s hard to pinpoint when, exactly, a large entity manages to fall. What starts as a tremendous high seems to end with a dramatic low, which has been the case for the social media website known as MySpace. Seen as one of the oldest social platforms out there, it’s also one that’s not nearly as it was back in the early aughts. Nonetheless, it’s a topic worth covering and I think that the help of Long Island advertising agencies would be more than welcome.

It was in 2003 that MySpace was launched and to say that it drew interest would have been an understatement. I was only a middle school student when MySpace started to become popular and I could see why it did. Everyone’s page could be customized based on their interests, and there seemed to be a focus on music that people got into as well. However, that was then; these days, it’s rarely discussed in the same breath as bigger websites such as Twitter and Facebook.

There are many reasons why MySpace has seen a decline, some of them potentially more obvious than others. Any Long Island advertising agency can tell you that other websites were released a few years after MySpace, with Facebook being perhaps the most prominent name. As that particular game gained ground, MySpace started to lose some of its own. From then on, it was a steady decline which could have been observed by firms such as fishbat.

MySpace has also been, for the most part, a music platform that stayed mostly relegated to entertainment. However, when you look at Facebook, you can clearly see that other functions and interests were covered. This was the case for Twitter as well, which has only helped to make MySpace more of an obsolete platform. As a matter of fact, I could only see MySpace being utilized by those who are either passionate about music or are looking to get their own creations out into the open.

As you can clearly see, MySpace is not an entirely useless website; if it was, it would have been brought down a long time ago. However, I cannot see this being a larger marketing platform that Long Island advertising agencies, across the board, could take advantage of. There are simply so many other options to take up, each of them with potentially higher results to yield. MySpace, while popular at one time, has seen an unfortunate fall as well.
