Myspace

I am reading on the news that Myspace is cutting its workforce by 30%. Again, I don't understand the business model of those big "portals", besides to make it become popular and sell it to some big media corporation whose management does not have a clue about the Internet. And then run. Where is Second Life and the millions that have been spent to build "sites" over there? There were also professional consultants to help firms with their Second Life site. There is a word here, "fuffa", that more or less means the fluffy dirt you find under your bed.
WIDGETIZE

I guess when a site lacks a purpose or it's purpose has run out for most people (social networking can only last so long I suppose) what is left?

About the "social" thing.
Internet was already "social", being a net to connect people's computers. Today the word "social" comes from the idea that Internet is about the masses and people are too stupid to do anything else but some very basic functions and everybody does the same like lemmings. "Social" means "automated" and "simplified". Even blogging has become too demanding.
