MySpace takes from Facebook?

Fox Interactive Media President announced today that MySpace, owned by Fox’s parent company News Corp., will now have news feeds similar to those used on Facebook which alert the user to what his or her friends are doing on the site. MySpace is well aware of the competition offered by Facebook, as shown by this move and the new option on MySpace to let users switch to a more Facebook-like skin for their homepage.

The question posed by recent trends seems to be: will Facebook eventually overtake MySpace as the most popular social networking site? Its possible. If the growth of Facebook continues as it has over the past year, then MySpace could be playing second to a newer, fresher leader in the social networking world. But it will be far from easy. MySpace still maintains an enormous lead over Facebook-289 million to Facebook’s 74 million. And MySpace is making efforts to adopt more Facebook-like qualities. And it certainly will not give up its dominance easily. But as of today, Facebook has officially surpassed MySpace with more page views. Facebook has already won half the battle; the other half will be getting more registered members.
