The big players are spending a lot of money on "here today, gone tomorrow" audiences. See the WASHINGTON POST's new article, In Teens' Web World, MySpace is So Last Year. [washingtonpost.com]

Strange that the article talks about facebook. I've already heard from several relatives that are still in college that facebook is getting old too.

>> News Corp. spent $580 million last year to buy it. Then Google Inc. struck a $900 million deal so, at worst, it seems that Newscorp has Myspace.com for free now. Fickle or not, they can make money and drive people to other projects. Even if they drop members or dont grow as fast, millions of eyeballs are still plenty of eyeballs. As far as Youtube: Its users maybe fickle, but Google also paid with it's fickle stock price. Sure they are making good money, but let's be honest, they are valued at $130 Billion dollars.

The high-schoolers are probably moving up to Facebook as the college-age people leave. Who knows--maybe the teens' parents will take over the empty slots at MySpace, and MySpace will eventually be a seniors' hangout. (It's already attracting middle-aged business owners.)

This space may end up being like many other social outlets. Restaraunts, night clubs, local hangouts, they all need to stay fresh to stay afloat. Might end up being similar on the web. Need to reinvent yourself every few years to keep people coming back.
