As you know, before Facebook, MySpace was the leading social networking website but times have changed and MySpace lost its popularity. According to the statistics, Facebooks popularity rose for 70 percent while MySpaces popularity dropped for 25 percent in the last year.

As for MySpace, it has 61 million monthly users while Facebook has 146 million users on monthly basis. It seems the MySpace is losing the war and even recent changes to the profile layouts cannot stop the MySpaces defeat. Therefore, MySpace has decided to add a new feature that will allow MySpace users to send status updates directly to Facebook.

It seems that MySpace is following Twitters example since this feature will allow you to send status updates from your MySpace account on the similar way that Twitter users send status updates to the their Facebook accounts. So far, Facebook hasnt developed a feature that will allow you to send status updates to your MySpace profile but were hoping that well see it in the future.

This feature will come handy to Facebook and MySpace users, but will it be enough to keep MySpace alive and appealing to its users?
