MySpace lays off 30 percent of its workforce
Is this a big surprise? With the advent and virtual takeover from social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc., the once giant MySpace is once again trimming the fat. I'm not surprised to be honest, MySpace remains a giant in the social networking community but a site I've avoided for personal use like the plague. Why? Web standards and companies actively pushing for Web 2.0 technologies have been on the rise. People are beginning to genuinely understand why web standards, accessibility, user experience, etc., are so important. Shoot even Microsoft is making strides with IE 7 and IE 8. For the past 5 years the web has really taken two giant steps forward while MySpace and their lame CSS "code" injection techniques seem to want to take three steps back. Gotta love the black backgrounds with dark navy blue text and a web site whose architecture is fragmented between ColdFusion and ASP.NET.
