????曾經(jīng)的全球最大社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)MySpace，如今卻不得不向Facebook俯首稱臣。公司CEO多次變更，2011年1月，公司裁員47%，并表示此舉將“為公司提供一個明確的持續(xù)增長與盈利路線?！?/p>

????然而，MySpace的悲劇還在上演。2005年，新聞集團（Specific Media）以5.3億美元收購MySpace，而在2011年6月，新聞集團以僅僅3，500萬美元，便將MySpace出售給網(wǎng)絡(luò)廣告服務(wù)商Specific Media。

????敗局已定，MySpace最終讓步，允許用戶關(guān)聯(lián)Facebook和推特（Twitter）上的個人檔案。

????Once the largest social network in the world, MySpace was blown off the map by Facebook. After going through several CEOs, the company slashed its payroll by 47% in January 2011, saying the move would "provide the company with a clear path for sustained growth and profitability."

????Not so much. The woes continued mounting. News Corp. purchased MySpace for $530 million in 2005 and sold it in June 2011 to Specific Media for just $35 million.

????Facing an increasingly obvious losing battle, MySpace eventually gave in and allowed users to link their Facebook and Twitter profiles.
