The problem isn't necessarily with MySpace as much as it is with the nature of online social network users today, said Jon Gibs, vice president of media analytics for Nielsen Online, a research firm.
Web users are fickle, he said.
"It seems that social networks are incredibly portable, meaning that me and my friends can go from MySpace to Facebook to Twitter without blinking much," he said.
History proves this point, he said, adding that no site has been able to successfully recover from a substantial loss of popularity.

ah no
msn.com
remember when it first started it was a doorway to microsoft network that competed with aol close network
netscape made the open internet the superior choice to those types of close networks
causing a decline in that site
it got retooled as a search engine
and got bigger again (they made it the home page of their browser)
google came along and took that market share cause another dip
but they have been rebuilding it as a nexus of services clustered around a search engine.
and by improving the search engine.
they are bigger then they were before their first fall, we still have to wait and see if they will be bigger after their second fall.
