Myspace And The Many Facets Of Other Social Networking Sites

Everyone knows of the phenomenal success of sites like MySpace and FaceBook over the past couple of years. Reports show a growth of almost 50% in the top social networking sites and a huge growth of over 350% for MySpace alone.

While this has been taken negatively by doomsayers who predict the worst for children who have access to these networks, it is seen as very positive not only by social scientists (who marvel at this growing technology-savvy social beings) but by online marketers who have found a goldmine for the products and services they offer.

The multiple facets of these sites make it possible for the marketer to not only, make enormous returns on the dollars invested, but to actually meet more individuals and companies that they can form a business relationship with. This flexibility is an incredible advantage for like-minded people.

While Facebook has made impressive strides to compete with the lightning growth of MySpace, it still has a way to go to take down the giant. However, most observers agree that Facebook's more controlled and deliberate growth will be an asset to them in the future. Could there be another social site that may controlled growth plan of it's own? Could there be one looking to specialize in a certain niche like business owners and online marketers.

Google's $900 million investment in MySpace just last year just for the setting up of Google advertising and search facility on the site speaks well of the economic potentials of MySpace.

MySpace boasts of achieving the 100 millionth account mark in August last year. It has over 300 million registered accounts as of December 18, 2007 and continues to attract 230,000 new account registrants on a daily basis. The efficacy of MySpace as a social networking site is evident with the existing profiles of some candidates for the 2008 US Presidential elections on MySpace.

While there is still a lot of room for growth and profits on MySpace, it is ideal to always look for new opportunities in social networking. There are a lot of wannabees that have started out small like Giblink but just like MySpace, it has a lot of potential for growth.

The Internet is an open space of ideas and of sites that are operated by people who invest in them. Those who are meeting big opportunities at MySpace now are the very people who were with MySpace from its inception. You, too, can have this chance if you dare look at other sites. Who knows, it may be worth your time.
