Unchecked and hurtful spam. The unchecked is the big part for me, spam has been a huge problem for over a year with very little action (I've been followed and unfollowed triggering 9 emails from one user, for instance).<br><br>I just hit 17,000 follower emails. I have 7k followers, that means 10,000 pieces of email were sent after a follow, and then an unfollow. <br><br>I hope I am wrong, but don't see any action on the staff's front. <br><br>I speak at a few college classes every year, and I ask who is on MySpace. Over 500 students this year, 2 were on MySpace. I don't see where there numbers are really coming from, I can't find the pockets. An app not being used by those with influence is a problem I see, the future looks dim. I think micorsharing is alive and well.

It's possible the size of your network gives you a different view on spam and exposure to problems that most users will never have. The most common personal networks are small and contain highly relevant connections. IMO, that uniqueness and control over one's own experience is what makes it more durable.<br><br>And for all the knocking of MySpace, they still get 55 million visitors each month. There is no longer growth in that community, but it's far from dead or valueless (to the people still using it). Any comparisons between Twitter and MySpace fail because of the rapid response the Twitter ecosystem has to the needs of its community. Twitter may not be innovating much, but they are facilitating a lot of development. Sounds like an interesting community conversation, but you are wrong about Twitter.

Do you know if there's a good service out there that can keep follow notices out of sight/mind if they're initiated by a spammy account?
