The Justin Timberlake of Myspace

I was the Justin Timberlake of Myspace before Justin Timberlake. Actually, I was better than Justin Timberlake because back then Myspace meant something.

A few years ago, I had a Myspace profile and thousands of "friends." Almost every day I would blog, much like I do now. The difference was that thousands of people read those blogs and left mostly positive comments, sometimes dozens of comments. Many were writers, or wannabe writers.Some were relatively famous people. I even had supermodels leave positive comments on my blogs.

Justin Timberlake can dance, sing and be funny as well. He brought sexy back. All I can do is blog for the most part, but I could be autobiographical, instructional and be funny as well. In some blogs, dare I say it, I was pretty sexy.
 
Why did Myspace decline?  Tila Tequila once had several million friends on Myspace, because she put herself out there. Unfortunately, she put herself out there too much and eventually ended up as a washed up bipolar porn star, unworthy of even being on TMZ. She wasn't a real person any more, just an addiction-- too much tequila and not enough Tila. Even her friends turned away and couldn't bear to look anymore. I suppose that's a metaphor for Myspace.

In The Social Network, Justin said "A million isn't cool. You know what's cool, a billion,"In my case, a thousand was cool, but you know what wasn't cool, a hundred.  You know what's even less cool, wa dozen, which is where I ended up. I made the inevitable switch over to Facebook, and a handful of my Myspace friends are now following me on Facebook. I suppose I should go on twitter as well, but I can't even burp in less than 140 characters.

As most of you know, Justin is now a part owner of Myspace. I've long since forgotten my password to the site. I don't know how the investment is doing, but if you're looking for the next big thing, invest in my blogs. Who knows, maybe I can bring blogging back.
