SpaceHey is in its infancy. There are currently less than 140,000 users. Compare that to 180 million for Instagram, and almost 3 billion for Facebook. Yes, it has a long way to go. Perhaps it will become viral, especially if Facebook keeps up its stupid censorship shenanigans.
There is no way to ever match the authentic organic unfolding of the original MySpace and the people who connected there to make it what it was. It truly was a unique movement unto itself.
But I love SpaceHey and have dived into it, not because I think it will ever become the same organic movement that MySpace became, and not even for nostalgic purposes. I have dived in because the format is conducive to what I do and what I want to do. And I love the new and additional features besides what MySpace was that give me even more of the tools I want. For instance, Groups.
What I loved about MySpace and what I am loving about SpaceHey is the creative freedom and the control I have over my own expression and creativity with the features (tools) provided.
No other social media site gives its users the tools to turn their individual profiles into their own mini-websites with HTML while still being able to be connected to others in a social network, with the ability to do a blog that is searchable on the entire Internet and available to all on SpaceHey, with the bulletins feature to announce things and what you are doing, and now with an improved chat (messenger) and Groups to start your own sub-networks?
It's the tools, the power, the freedom, the creativity that are the reasons I am here and I hope it becomes something of itself that can be spoken of in the future like MySpace was. It will never be MySpace, nor a MySpace replacement because it will never recapture that organic unfolding of the movement that MySpace became. And I don't want it to be. Because I believe it can become something even greater, it can be its own thing and become legendary in itself.
I am having a great time growing and building my profile and network here and I'm hoping a lot of old MySpace folks will take the plunge, not for nostalgia, not to recapture a past, but to forge ahead in a bright new future with the powerful tools and format we came to love so many years ago.
