Boiling take: Myspace doesn't get enough historical heat for walling the blogosphere while simultaneously Eternal-Septembering it.

A slice of my MySpace experience:

Before MySpace web designers and developers could have work all year just working with bands. Band web work basically dried up below a certain band success level over a year or two.

But since MySpace allowed custom CSS and had limited built in design options it created a new market for custom pages. The rates were mostly lower but there were probably 100X the number of bands that needed work.
