On this episode of Note Rocket Science, we go into nostalgia mode HARD thinking back to going to someone in high school’s Myspace page only to be introduced to the latest Dashboard Confessional single, some glittery Geocities-esque GIF wallpaper, neon color schemes and the ability to snoop at someone’s Top 8 and see if you made the cut? Ahhhhh the good ole days of Myspace, the original social media. We’ve been on a heavy early 2000s kick here at NRS recently and stumbled upon an awesome Youtube video recently titled “Why Myspace Failed” that went into great detail regarding some of the business, technological and cultural reasons why Myspace died quickly right after its initial ascension to prominence and how Facebook was able to swoop in and take over. We give our take on these issues including the shortcomings of Tom and their tech stack and lament over whether that OG social media magic that Myspace created can be tapped into these days on any tangible level. This is really an episode that is the podcast equivalent of an old person going “In my day blah blah blah” so if you ain’t ready for that well…idk :/

Have a request, comment, question, or hate rant against us? Wish you could revisit the glory days of Myspace? Too young and wanna yell at us for talking about old stuff nobody cares about? Hit us up!!
