Is Bebo Dying?

Bebo. No doubt you’ve heard of it, the once mega-popular social media site has been steadily dropping through the ranks. But the major question is, when is a social media website classed as dying? And is Bebo trying to progress but failing miserably? Accused several times of stealing ideas of various social media sites (i.e.” “What are you doing?” from Twitter, and the Chat from Facebook) and also of overadvertising and selling out – it is constantly plagued by several advertisements and sponsorships.

But is it really dying? In schools, whenever Bebo is mentioned, a flurry of shouts saying ‘Oh, no one uses Bebo anymore!’ fill the room and the general agreed opinion is the same around all the british teenagers, it would seem – Bebo is being replaced by simpler and more popular services such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter. Remarkably, Myspace has been rather quiet in the news recently, too.
