Myspace was the most famous website of all time then came facebook and youtube and it's popularity started to decline. Why? Who was responsible for not making innovations so that myspace could compete with facebook? NAMES PLEASE!
Answer
When the two main co-founders stepped down in mid April of 2009, Tom Anderson as the President and Chris DeWolf as the CEO, there were three changes of presidents, and CEO's, who made changes to MySpace, that most users disagreed with. The last President under the full ownership of News Corp, re-branded the site two times, with the last being MySpace, as a social entertainment destination. They also kept adding features that most users didn't want, and removing features that were highly popular such as the groups, and them replacing them with something titled Threads, which Mike Jones the last President under the full ownership was told by the moderators would not be acceptable to users.
I suspect that both Tom, and Chris advised, against such a move, but News Corp decided under the guidance of those who followed the departure of Tom and Chris, to go forward with the changes that were made, and then decided anyone over the age of twenty five years old weren't significant in numbers, and cater more towards the thirteen to twenty five years of age users whom, they by some manner determined to be those of the most significant relevance to the site, and it's future. That the loss of the older users wasn't going to be of any significance to the future of the site. Mike Jones also didn't allow the users enough time to adapt to the 2.0 profiles before rolling the 3.0 version in 2010. Which caused even more users to either delete their accounts, or abandon them. Basically Mike approved of the changes made in the last eighteen months he was the President of MySpace. So blame the brass at News Corp (not so much Rupert Murdoch though), and those that were appointed to run MySpace, after the departure of Tom and Chris, for the downfall of MySpace.
The only name I really have to give out, and where the bulk of the blame can be placed is Mike Jones, who departed about three months after News Corp sold ninety five percent ownership to Specific Media, and Justin Timberlake, in June of 2011. News Corp, though still seems to have a significant input into what is done and where MySpace goes in the future based on what has transpired since September of 2011, when the forums were removed, and it was decided that the groups wouldn't be returned as had been announced at one time by the new owners.

How did Secretariat reform spectators perspectives on horse racing?

Can someone answer this question with proof
Answer
Secretariat Winning Triple Crown gave new hope, breathing new life into the sport. Secretariat in 1973 became the first U.S. Triple Crown champion in 25 years, setting new race records in two of the three events in the Seriesâthe Kentucky Derby (1:592â5), and the Belmont Stakes (2:24) He won by a jaw-dropping 31 lengths. all records that still stand today. The triple Crown, a feat so difficult that no horse had accomplished it in the 25 years prior to Secretariat and no horse has won it in the past 33. As Secretariat came to the Belmont Stakes back in June 1973, with a chance to become the first Triple Crown winner in a quarter of a century, Secretariat led the news headlines in North America. The Big Red Horse made the covers of Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated... something that hadnât happened before, or since. Here's the photo link, Time Mag- http://www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19730611,00.html
Even after the Triple Crown Secretariat continued to prove himself as one of the top Thoroughbreds of all time. And, at age three, Secretariat was again named Horse of the Year, and won Eclipse Awards as the American Champion Three-Year-Old Male Horse and the American Champion Male Turf Horse.
Proof also in Posthumous recognition-
On October 16, 1999, in the winner's circle at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, the U.S. Postal Service honored Secretariat, unveiling a 33-cent postage stamp with his image. ESPN listed him 35th of the 100 greatest North American athletes of the 20th century, the highest of three non-humans on the list (the other two were also racehorses: Man o' War at 84th and Citation at 97th ). Secretariat was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1974, the year following his Triple Crown. In 2005, he appeared in ESPN Classic's show "Who's No. 1?". In the list of "Greatest Sports Performances" (by individual athletes), the horse was the only nonhuman on the list, with his run at Belmont ranking second behind Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game. On May 2, 2007, Secretariat was inducted into the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame, marking the first time an animal received this honor. Secretariat, a Disney live-action film written by Mike Rich and directed by Randall Wallace, was released on October 8, 2010. A new award created in 2011 titled "Secretariat Vox Populi" (voice of the people) was presented by Penny Chenery to the first honoree, the 2010 Horse of the Year, Zenyatta. This annual award will acknowledge the horse that brings the most excitement and attraction to the sport.
In stud, Secretariat sired such future champions as 1988 Preakness and Belmont winner Risen Star and 1986 Horse of the Year Lady's Secret. But none of his offspring came close to matching the standard he set. He remained a popular figure even after Secretariat Mania subsided. But his life ended tragically. Suffering from laminitis -- a painful hoof disease -- the 19-year-old superstar was given a lethal injection on Oct. 4, 1989, at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Ky.
Quote- "It was a terrible day for all of us," Claiborne president Seth Hancock said. "We just couldn't stand to see him suffer." "And, To this day, Secretariat remains one of the first names everyone thinks of whenever the topic of horse racing comes up. "It's hard to believe after all these years," Chenery said, "but hardly a day goes by that I don't get mail about Secretariat."
So, bottom line seldom does performance match excessive expectation as it did with Secretariat.
