The sale is expected to draw bids from several investment firms and companies who may try to buy parts of Myspace or the whole company...Read more here

Thats bad.

It was eventual. Feel sorry for a company that started before Facebook, but couldn't even maintain its dignity!

I am thinking how must be the feeling for embedding "Facebook connect" on its homepage, the same Facebook, because of which My Space reached this stage!

^^facebook is already real shitty...lol

^^ But atleast Facebook is successful, and just saying Successful, is an underestimation.

^^at some point in time everything reaches it's peak and then downward spiral.

It had to go .

Facebook will be there for sometime .

I don't think so it 2 be true

with everyday fb forcing its user to adapt to new layout

many fb user are not simply liking it and quite get irritated of it ( Some people simply don't prefer changes like my dad prefer XP over MS win7 as he is simply used to it)

₥¥$₱ăĉē was cluttered. Øℜĸũŧ was cluttered. Facebook had a clean interface and use to be only for college students.

Later on Facebook opened up itself for everyone, and everyone has joined it. And now Facebook too is cluttered. I'm tired of kids sending me game requests and cluttering my wall. Tagging me in randomly generated "my friends" collages and Happy New Year messages.

Twitter too is cluttered and has become a site where many people do nothing other than barking.

Its just the matter of time, before some other means of communication will overtake FB.
Anybody wants to join me to work on designs and prototypes that can beat FB. :-D

Don't think its not possible btw, since people have short attention spans and get bored easily.

@ico: As far as being irritated from game requests are concerned, I can sympathize with you. And hope that you know, you can block such apps from cluttering your news feed. For the case of photo tagging, that problem I too am struggling to find solution for.
