CNN recently looked at the future of MySpace, the once-hot social network that has lost a lot of ground to Facebook and Twitter and now seems to be in decline...

In the brief history of Web sites, there are few if any second chances. Remember Friendster?

That's why it's difficult for some industry observers to see a comeback for MySpace, the large online social network that has seen its popularity flatline and its hipness surpassed by younger sites like Twitter and Facebook in recent months.

Richard MacManus, founder and editor of ReadWriteWeb, reckons that MySpace is in danger of going the way of Lycos and Excite - both sites that have passed on. But a couple of months ago MySpace hired a new chief executive, Owen Van Natta, in an effort to stave off the decline of the site.

If you're a MySpcae fan, the CNN piece is worth reading.

I said it before and I'll say it again. If MySpace just does 3 simple things they'll be back in business. First, fix their profile editor. Second, create a better way for MySpace friends to communicate. Third, keep their music from locking up.

I do hope MySpace gets back on its feet because many singles depend on generation through this social networking site. I think that MySpace just needs to revamp their system to make it better before it's too late.
