A simple question on Quora yields some fascinating comments: &''Is MySpace likely to recover&''

Google VP Corporate Development David Lawee left a brief and sarcastic &''Is this a real question&'' response. Which is noteworthy because Google is a major advertising partner to MySpace. Generally speaking, partners are nice to each other in public, but not here.

Investor Chris Fralic says &''Define recover.&''

The top answer though is from Sean Moriarty, the former CEO of TicketMaster, who says &''Precipitous decline in user base, organizational turmoil, weak technology platform, fierce competition, and media conglomerate ownership make likelihood of recovery low.&''

And one of the people who up-voted Moriarty&'s comment on October 6 is David Bard, the Senior Interaction Design Strategist at MySpace. He&'s likely one of the key guys on the front line of Futura, MySpace&'s last push for relevance. And he apparently agrees that the &''likelihood of recovery low.&''

At least MySpace has one thing going for it &8211' senior employees who are willing to speak their mind, whether it&'s sharing internal data with us or upvoting comments on Quora. Most Yahoo&'ers always waited until after they&'d left to really unload on their former employer.
