This is why Myspace is utterly useless unless you block filmmakers(like myself), musicians(yep, I have one of those as well) or comedians. Everybody on these social media sites is pushing their own agenda, and it's obvious who isn't benefitting: the user who has to go through piles of spam and robot sent 'friend requests'. The fun news is it will only get much worse. Interesting topic, I couldn't agree more.

It's true that some social media sites seem rigged and gamed, but about being hot for a while and then tampering off, I'm not sure about that, I mean Digg was launched in 2003 (correct me if I'm wrong) and it shows no sign of slowing down, even though they changed the algorithm Digg still receives a shit load of traffic :) But beyond the traffic it's the content and network that's important, I've discovered many many sites via social media sites that I've never even heard of :) Hi have to agree with James about Twitter, though I do care about some social media sites.

A social media site often seems rigged and gamed, and like all fads, it's hot for a while then tapers off. I do like Twitter, though, and for one simple reason: Community. Interaction. Breaking the Isolation. Oh, and the business benefits, too. (There. That's four reasons.) Honestly, I don't care about Digg or most social media sites.
