I have written about my doubts on the staying power of the "hot" community site rage. I have questioned the long term viability of Myspace.com.

Thus this recent article found by Keith Simonsen of Jupiterimages certainly was up my alley.

I am not rooting against the long term success Myspace or any other community site. However I do not believe that community sites such as Myspace will be able to command long term loyalty from present users. This means that users will have to be replaced and replenished. And it could also mean that when it comes time to replace a user that potential new user could easily become interested in spending time on some entrant in a particular field.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the coming years.
