Companies Trying To Make The Best Out Of Technology...

As we all know we are in a generation based on technology, everything has to do with it now days and companies of every industry all over the world are trying to make a transition within all their services because in my opinion by doing so, will be the only way to ''survive'' in these times.

Take Google for example, one of the biggest companies in the world are planning to work out a way of installing near-field-communication readers or NFC which is a set of short range wireless technologies. Google wants to install NFC readers in merchant locations so that consumers may tap their devices against registers to pay for the products they are purchasing; I am sure that this method will facilitate customers on making payments, it is estimated that this type of technology will replace credit cards, debit cards, gift cards.

Continuing with technology, MySpace is trying to revive its brand by getting into the artistic world. It has been written that MySpace is pushing its boundaries by representatives of the company attending different types of event such as concerts and film festivals, they are pushing hard to in a sort of way to ''revive''. On the other hand web users are visiting MySpace less and less, making it hard for them to make a revival happen. It is going to hard for MySpace to be saved, what do you think?...

Last but not least MySpace's ''competition'' Facebook has been granted a new search patent that concentrates on search results based on the preferences of someone's personal network. This method gives the user bigger networking possibilities with not only your friends but with ''friends of friends of friends'' so any search results will be matched with your profile settings and most definitely will give you are exact search of what you are looking for, which means less popular option when searching.

Technology keeps on making life a little easier for everyone... If we may say that...

Is MySpace Going To Be Saved?

Once upon a time there was a web site created by a man named Tom Anderson, that particular web site founded on July, 2003 by the name of MySpace was a web site created for interaction with others. This website became a big hit in no time, most human being around the world started jumping on the MySpace bandwagon because it was an easy to use site; where people made connections with others by just adding someone as a friend. Also it gave people the choice to create a profile with different backgrounds and even post pictures or anything on their profile. Most people learned to deal with HTML's with MySpace because that was the way used to post stuff on a user profile on even on another user if you wanted to post some kind image or link. MySpace also gave new and existing artists to post their music or art on the Artist/Fan pages, MySpace was a really cool innovative website.

MySpace was on the ''top of the game'' being the most used web site by people for interacting purposes, but one day on February, 2004 a new web site was created named Facebook this site was created by a College student named Mark Zuckerberg he created the website at first so that College and University students could interact with each other. The beginning of Facebook was not that good, but with some time it would start becoming a more visited site, not only College students but any person started opening  Facebook accounts; After,  Businesses and Artists' started jumping into Facebook. By then everyone was using this web site more and more, people started forgetting MySpace even closing accounts on MySpace because everyone was using Facebook more regularly. By 2009 a web traffic analysis web site Compete.com ranked Facebook as the most site used for social networking by worldwide monthly active users.

Other social networking web sites have been created since then, but none have been able to top Facebook. Now what happened to MySpace?... They have dropped in the last years and now it does not look good for them on a Business stand point, they are on sale. Most reports say MySpace will be sold to the owners of Facebook so that they can be saved and linked in every way, that just shows the supremacy and the decay; on one end Facebook is the most successful networking site and on the other end MySpace keeps on getting less and less traffic.

Will My Space be saved?...
