Top 10 Failed SOcial Media Sites

24 Jan

Top 10 Social Media Sites That Failed infographic was created by mylife.com.  I found this list of the top 10 failed social media sites is interesting because it lists the potential reasons WHY each site may have failed.

I was surprised that Google+ was on this list as I didn’t realize it was a failure… yet. There was a time when Digg would have been considered at the top of successful social media sites but by outsourcing community messaging they definitely sunk the ship too soon. With too much time spend on developing advertising on Myspace they let their competitors like Facebook take over their market share by having a better social platform that appealed to a larger audience. I’m still hoping that Myspace can bring it back with their new and improved version.

 
What are your impressions about this infographic? Are their any additional social networking sites you think should be added to this list?
