Remember the last time you posted something on your MySpace profile page to update your friends? Yea, I don’t either. MySpace was at a time the most visited social network site and was used majorly by user to interact with one another.
Today MySpace is the place for artist to interact with fans. Posting new updates on concerts, new songs, and latest hits. But, fan interaction is not what it use to be. Today people don’t seem to be visiting the site like they use to.
MySpace main page looks more like news feed artist newspaper than an interactive social network. So, is this new change enough for it to have a comeback?
I believe in order for MySpace to comeback they will need to go back to its roots. A space to connect with friends, yes, Facebook does that already. But, Facebook doesn’t allow you to customize your page to your unique liking. Will this be enough for you to use MySpace over Facebook, probably not?
MySpace needs to find its niche once again over other interactive sites and provide users that unique experience. They can provide this by connecting users to what they like, just like the advertisement they show you. Say, you like that new User cologne, well they can show you different options within its site about the artist and relative, articles and sites.
So is MySpace gone for good…maybe? Only time will tell whither they decide to change with the time or stay behind.

MySpace does need to find their niche again. I agree that they had the uniqueness of letting users design their profile pages to their liking but sometimes it got to be too much of a waste of time. If they limited the design features so that people wouldn't feel so overwhelmed and once again targeted the music industry, they can make a comeback.
