It looks as though the tricks of the MySpace glory days are STILL being used by some bands today. The only difference is that the social network has changed. This type of behaviour doesn’t make any sense at all! In fact, I’d argue that those “tricks” are what drove people away from those social networks in [...]
I check my websites analytics often. Google, Bandcamp, Flavors.me, and Next Big Sound all provide a good idea of where people are coming from to find your site. Recently those sites have started showing me a peculiar trend; MySpace still has big traffic power. I have not been a fan of MySpace for sometime, in fact I [...]
Well January flew by and 2011 is moving at a brisk pace in spite of the Winter trying to slow us down. Just in case you may have missed some of the New Rockstar Philosophy talk we’ve decied to put up a monthly review of our top posts. MySpace Lays Off Half Of Work Force – Well [...]
Wow, I didn’t think they could do it, but it appears that MySpace is only getting worse. Reports are coming in that claim MySpace is ready to lay off half of their work force. Half! Myspace, which has been struggling to revitalize itself, is expected to lay off 550 to 600 of its staff of [...]
After last week’s rant about MySpace I’d hoped I wouldn’t hear about it anymore, but then I read the article below from Simply Zesty. It has some important points that NRP has been saying for years but still need attention. The main point being that social network sites come and go and although MySpace, Friendster, [...]
NOOOOOO! MySpace is a piece of horrible with a silent H. Years of paying no respect to their user base has left My_______ as the retarded and annoying older brother of the social networks. They overdosed on ads and everyone left the place. Bandcamp has better ideas and better execution. Bandcamp IS BETTER. Now as MySpace tries to [...]
MySpace is not a zombie, it’s not coming back to life. It whored itself out to advertisers, killing usability, and its dominance over early social media. Now after years under Fox News’ parent company, it’s for sale. News Corp. chief operating officer Chase Carey admitted that the company is open to all options when it comes to MySpace [...]
Have you seen the new My_____ ? Are we calling it that? The main thing you’ll notice browsing around is that Myspace is trying to frame your experience by placing a transparent-y tab running the length of the top and occasionally bottom of your screen. It looks different but functions much the same as classic profile editor tab. [...]
So a lot has been changing for MySpace in the last few months. The most obvious will be there logo. What’s even more important though is the layout, content, and philosophical shift that MySpace has taken on. More from Mashable: The launch of the new MySpace begins today; it marks not only the release of a completely [...]

2010 went out as a very big year for Facebook. Zuckerberg had the year’s best movie made about him, was on the cover of time magazine, and talked with Barbara Walters which now means my mother knows who he is. It’s interesting to watch one social network ascend, while it’s forefather of less than 3-5 [...]
