I think psychologically you're very right; "we must always be looking for the next big thing" So it's not that MySpace won't continue to better itself, make millions and get millions of hits each month.. MySpace will never go away. But, indeed people get bored and look for something fresh (hence Twitter). I like Twitter because it's more professionally driven and is good for legitimate networking. But realistically, the only reason it's successful is because it's new and fresh, there is more of an adult/professional user base and it's pretty. But, technically speaking and functionality wise, it offers nothing in comparison to other social networks except for simplicity. But, social networks and Web 2.0 will never go away, because they're about human interaction which will never go away. Just like we play video games online and go to theme parks, it's about immersing ourselves. I constantly brainstorm about creating a social network; and the number one goal is to treat the user as best as possible, to beat out the competition in user appreciation (I won't go into details). But, the key idea is that the users are the ones that will make it work and bring in the money, so they deserve some rewarding.

Myspace, if it hasn't already, will undoubtedly out live the original Napster due to the obvious legal problems Napster faced. Myspace is what's hot today, meanwhile there are many competitors, including Facebook, and Twitter to name a couple. Myspace can't hold it's place at the top forever and thus we must always be looking for the next big thing. I think that we have learned some very valuable lessons from myspace, which will help us succeed with whatever the future has to offer.
