But, the essential issue with MySpace has been that it hasn't listened to the needs and wants of the indie artists and labels on its site. As soon as MySpace became attractive to the major labels it got so full of itself that it forgot to pay attention to the indies that built it. MySpace got overconfident that other major social sites were not music-based and didn't consider that they'd naturally evolve as competitors to diversify their offerings to include music. Now, the alarm's gone off and the other sites have already had their first cup of coffee while MySpace is just waking up to what their competitors are up to.
