Facebook - growing up fast 12:11pm on 01 Jul 2009 A few months ago I received an email from MySpace advising me that if I continued not to bother to use my account with them then it would be closed down. Fair enough - I think I only used it once or twice when I first set it up to view a few bands and then have moved over to YouTube as my primary source of accessing music video. I happened to mention to my 14 year old daughter that I needed to engage with my MySpace account to keep it up and running and her response was that a 40+ male should steer well clear of MySpace as this would be considered highly inappropriate and be perceived in a very negative way by what appears to be a mainly teenage (girl?) audience. This was all very much news to me and I have certainly followed her advice - apparently mature males have no place on MySpace as determined by the majority of its current audience. When a public social networking platform fails to accommodate all demographics [unlike the all embracing, fully inclusive Facebook] then you know they are on to a bad thing. RIP MySpace.
