The older I get, the more I’m convinced that it does not matter how big a company or a website gets. Something else can always come along and be bigger and better. In this case, Myspace was thought never to be replaced. It was just so massive. Their growth was unheard of. It wasnt even that many years ago that Myspace exploded and got as big as it did. At that point all of my dreams of ever coming up with something better were crushed. (dont worry, it wasn’t that serious)

This last year I have been watching facebook grow. I noticed that so many of my friends moved from myspace to facebook that I thought I would give it a try. Shortly after, I noticed that everyone else was moving over to facebook as well! Facebook was clean. Unlike Myspace, Facebook started with a good foundation, good code, clean design. They left little room to be hacked.

Facebook almost immediately annoyed me with its applications. People were sending me flowers, and cokes, and candies and all sorts of other dumb things to put on my profile. I hate that stuff, so I ignore it. This last year, Myspace started doing applications as well, so I cant say that Myspace is less annoying anymore. It is interesting watching Myspace hurry to catch up with all of the facebook features.

Myspace has definitely come a long ways from where it started, but Facebook continues to grow and grow. Take a look at this chart that shows the traffic between the two. As of this month, they meet. Almost identical traffic. Facebook has gained almost 30 million unique visitors per month. That is insane.

So, enough with my rambling. Who do you think will win, and why? Or, do you think that they will both continue to go back and forth with each other?
