Facebook and Twitter will soon feel the 'MySpace Effect'

If you still have a MySpace you likely fit into one of three groups: You forgot to formally delete your account; you are trying to advertise your small-time band to a couple dozen hardcore leftover users; you log into MySpace right after you finish signing into AOL Desktop merely as a matter of old habit.
But I'm not interested in singling out those still using the service, as the droves of users who have dumped the website outright far outnumber the faithful by now. I'm outlining something I'd call the "MySpace Effect".
Last year, MySpace shed as many as 10 million users in the single month of February. That's more than a Spring cleaning, it's more akin to a Spring wipeout. While direct comparisons between the dreadful downfall of MySpace and the current outlook for Facebook and Twitter may not be directly applicable, there can be some general extrapolation made to some of the early signs of things (soon) to come.
