The Digg mob points us to an article over on Star-Telegram that wonders what will happen when the kids get a bit bored of MySpace and move on to the next cool thing:
The 18-year-old gave the networking site a try a few months ago. She was disappointed by what seemed like less of a social network and more of a popularity contest.
“It got too fake,” Stoker said. “You have all these people saying they want to be your friend. It’s just a waste of time.”
The idea of the enormously popular MySpace falling out of favor among teens might seem unlikely. It’s the third most-visited Web site in the country after Yahoo and Google, according to the Web traffic firm Alexa.
But at its core, MySpace is just another popular hangout, a digital version of the local mall, coffee shop or music store. And like those locales, its image can change as it grows more popular and its younger users could abandon it for the next new thing.
