It Didn't Take Long

It didn't take long for the relatively new social site Google+ ("Google Plus") to change its look. It also didn't take long for it to look remarkably similar to Facebook's new look. I don't who got the idea first, but look at the resemblance between the two:

MySpace To NoSpace

MySpace - the first of the online social media sites - had so much promise, but all that is behind it. It has fallen from favor.

News Corp. which owns Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and other media (actually the 3rd largest media company in the world), sold the site today for a mere $35 million, one-third of the $100 million it was asking, and just 6% of the $580 million it had paid for the network.

People's tastes change, and MySpace was never able to deliver what Facebook, Linked In and other sites have done. MySpace was never a strong business site.

This is a testiment to the free market, however. No one set the price except the market, and declining interest determined the value.

Social Media Can Pay Off In Other Ways

In addition to Active Rain, many of us probably rely on Linked-In and Facebook as some our social media favorites.

Linked-In announced this week that they are going public with an IPO for sometime later this year, and Facebook plans an IPO for next year in 2012.

I imangine neither will be inexpensive, but I'm thinking Facebook shares could rival Google's in price.

So in addition to using social sites for business, the can produce revenue in other ways - as an investment.
