In terms of being relatable and keeping up with the masses, they have failed miserably. Personally I think too much user-defined customization and lack of decent usability contributed to the fall. There were other factors of course, including security and several negatively charged news stories regarding Myspace. Myspace does indeed need to do something different. What is it? A completely revised interface? Tighter security and control over itself? Maybe the change in leaderships will help. Can the success of Facebook even be duplicated? Unless something is done both drastically and soon for Myspace, it will fall. I see Myspace as an abomination of what could have been.
