Some thoughts on the MySpace take-over

The reason MySpace failed is cause musicians do not want to acquire other musicians instead of fans (and let's face it, MySpace did pretty much become BandSpace). They want to acquire like minded music fans willing to listen to new stuff and interact to build an online relationship.

This is why I believe a musician based social network is doomed to fail. Hopefully Justin Timberlake don't take this route.

I think some sort of talent competition could be a great idea though. Perhaps the highest rated people in their chosen genres get tv time? It forces bands to promote to gain fans but still I don't see how that would stop the infinite stream of band spam which almost killed MySpace first time round. It's a tough one. Too tough for me.

I really can't see a happy ending for MySpace at the moment. Hopefully I am wrong. I wish it no harm.

What do you guys think?
