Facebook Now Half the Size of Myspace!

Digg this story!

It’s official. Alexa.com’s ranking comparison tool told me today that Facebook is now half as big as Myspace.com. Take a look for yourself:

Facebook Myspace Statistics

I really admire Facebook’s growth – although I don’t give them all the credit. The site has been booming since January of 2007 – with traffic doing nothing else but increasing.

Will Facebook be hitting a wall anytime soon? Pun intended. :)

Don’t Buy From StockScripts.com

Long time, no post.  Sorry that we had to meet again with these circumstances, but it needs to be said!

Reasons being:
- Poorly (notice the emphasis) made scripts.  Their SocialJenny (myspace clone) script is full of bugs that almost make the site unusable.  This is after making sure my server was compatible with the script, upgrading to their “Developer” version, and fixing some bugs myself.

- I was supposed to get 6 months of free “Support”.  I can only chuckle at that promise.  I was actually surprised that I got an email response by them though.  Oh but that was because I needed to pay another $50 to upgrade my script to the “DEVELOPER” version which you need to edit the files.  Why did you encrypt the files again?

- I only received responses back when it had to do with me paying them more money.  Silly isn’t it?

- I was banned on their forum for speaking up about their lack of support that was promised.  I understand that it may take a while to respond to an inquiry… but weeks at a time?  I can’t prove or show what I said to them because they deleted the posts (surprise surprise), but I did nothing to deserve a ban.

I was a bad boy.
I’ve dealt with FREE scripts that have been more reliable than these.

I’m not trying to be a nagging customer… in fact, it wasn’t even my money that was spent.  This post is to direct those users interested in buying a myspace or youtube clone script AWAY from StockScripts.com.  Just trying to help out all your smart consumers :)

The Internet Is Evolving

Pardon my absence. Over the past month I went to South Beach Miami for a week (wonderful) and also visited Gulf Shores, Alabama for a few days (also rockin’).

This past month has really shown progress through my websites. Both visitor and revenue statistics have increased. I debate with myself sharing these stats. Yes, I talk to myself. Usually about the weather. I may share with you my revenue and visitor statistics sometime in the future, but not now. I’ve had bad experiences in the past when I shared my income with friends and family.

Anyways, what I wanted to mention in this post is that the internet is extremely, extremely versatile. That means it’s ever-changing, moving all the time. The web is evolving into a superpower.

Thinking like this has made me ponder over what’s to come in the near future. No one saw Myspace, YouTube, or Gmail coming did they? But then again, who saw the automobile or airplane coming? No one, exept those with the ideas.

It may just seem like incoherrent rambling to you (maybe it is), but it sure makes me feel as if I’m losing if I don’t stay on top of this ‘Evolving Internet’. I remember even sensing as if I’m losing money by not doing anything. My conclusion to this post is just a suggestion: Think about what’s to come. If you can’t think or spawn any new ideas, wait for it to come, and market it like there’s no tomorrow. Every niche explosion like Myspace and YouTube started small. Watch for these small new sites and do what you can to profit from it before that market is flooded.

Cheers.
