Whatever happened to...myspace

Published: Aug. 3, 2020, 10:30 a.m.

Coming up this week, let\u2019s talk about whatever happened to myspace. At one point, myspace was THE biggest, social media platform in the world.

Within a month of its launch in 2003, it had an incredible 1 million users and those numbers grew exponentially. At its peak in the mid 2000s, myspace had 100 million users per month. 1 billion user accounts. More people clicked on myspace than they did google.

And then, something happened. The bottom dropped out of myspace.

On this week\u2019s episode of the Risktory Podcast, I look at the decline of myspace. And I look at whether myspace might be a manifestation of Ray Kurzweil\u2019s Law of Accelerating Returns.

The Risktory Podcast is created, written, produced and hosted by Jacinthe A Galpin.
