Money Making Websites

When you really look at Myspace, when you really get down to it, user MySpace profiles are nothing more than web pages.

Not exactly a new or brilliant concept. The brilliant part was the addition of social interaction, making it a seemingly new and amazing place to hang out.

I remember way back when you could get a free website from a place called Geocities. Am I the only one that remembers them?

But it was just a plain old website, nothing fancy and the biggest ineraction your visitors had was a guestbook, if your visitors even used it. While it was cool to have your own webpage back in the golden years, they were… well, boring.

How often do you hear about Geocites these days? Can’t remember the last time I saw the name mentioned.

I think part of it was timing, but Myspace sure hit a cord. It was no longer checking out some one’s home page, it was actually interacting with people. They could leave comments, you could leave comments. You could post pictures, trade question and answer polls and more.

It sure helped to make it easier for people to create their own space on the net. In the past you had to know how to make web pages, you had to know some html, not exactly easy for many people.

If you think Myspace was some new incredible concept it’s not, but Myspace is a perfect example of making an old idea better.

So the question is, what could you make better and become the next Myspace?
