O sucesso do myspace

Confesso que o sucesso do Myspace sempre me fez alguma confusão. Numa era em que se prega nas esquinas todas a necessidade da usabilidade, dos designs limpos e da simplicidade, o site (talvez) com mais sucesso na web 2.0 é um que é feio como um dia de tempestade. A explicação pode ser esta:
GigaOM: The Future of Social Networks - Communication
One of MySpace’s greatest innovations was something ridiculously simple… the “wall”. As most know, the wall is the messaging area of a user’s profile page, where any “friend” of the user can post comments. I describe it as “ridiculously simple” because the wall is nothing more than a common bulletin board. However, the foresight to repurpose a simple bulletin board to enable communications among a social network of people, all centered on the profiled individual him/herself, proved to be brilliant. More than any other utility for self-expression, it is the wall that keeps members coming back over and over again, often several times a day

Simples demais. Ou não...
