The rise and fall of MySpace is a cautionary tale for any business that fails to stay ahead of the curve. MySpace was once the biggest social network in the world, but its failure to keep up with the times resulted in its downfall. Today, social networks are constantly evolving and introducing new features, and companies must be innovative and proactive in order to remain competitive.

Though MySpace is seen as a relic in popular culture, its legacy still remains in the social networking apps we know today, even its old competitors Facebook and Twitter. Many of the sites and apps now thrive to make constant updates to their sites, organize the layouts and make sure that platform is as interactive as possible to obtain more users, just like MySpace. The coding of MySpace also led to revolutionary evolutions of website coding as well. There have even been replicas of MySpace, the most prominent being a platform called Spacehey. Spacehey has the exact same layout and format as MySpace and has hundreds of thousands of users, bringing the nostalgia of the good old MySpace days into modern times. From aesthetics, marketing, user connections, and so much more, MySpace leaves a legacy to the internet and has shaped the foundation for other social networking apps like itself to grow and evolve not only themselves or each other, but the internet as a whole, just like MySpace had.
