Social Networking sites ought to be banned.

I did have a profile on MySpace, but it was never used for things other than messages which could have quite easily been sent by email, or for stupid people calling me a {bleep}.

Most of my 'friends' there were people from school who I didn't like (and who didn't like me) so I just deleted it. I couldn't really see much point keeping in contact with them now I have left school.

Nope, I'm not all that much into self-glorification.

Myspace is well suited for teenage girls.... I'm male and hitting 30 so it's irrelevant to me. It seems every time I follow a link to that garbage heap I hit some kids profile thats blaring with some kind of music and a thousand animated gifs and a mile long drag of boring pictures and crappy comments from and about stuff I don't care about.

Myspace is a visual assault and and auditory disturbance. I do have a profile because one good friend of mine insisted on that being the only way to keep in touch. 6 months later he found a woman and now we talk on the phone like we always have before he decided to utilize myspace.

Myspace, like Facebook, is populated mainly by fawning adolescent girls who feel the need to endear themselves to strangers by showing perfunctory interest in them while bestowing every mind-numbing detail of their own lives upon not only their fellow inhabitants, but also innocent Googlers who then have to trawl through their bilge. Such shining examples of intellect usually describe themselves (with no apparent regard for the actual meaning of the words) as "random", "mad" and/or "bubbly", when in fact "disorganised", "irritating" and "obnoxious" would respectively suit them better.

I have my favorite song Transcending Soul which I recorded with my (now sold) Delfina Lite, and mixed with my A4000T (not working now)

Originally slated to be a dumping ground for the podcast I never got around to doing.  Now I simply use it for complaining about panhandlers, etc.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA  :roflmao:

TOO TRUE!  Mind you, that extends well beyond adolescence, my friend.  If you're in your thirties and dating, it's not much different.

I'm too lazy to scan through to see if I already answered this... I have a MySpace page that I put together so I could keep up with my family and cousins (a lot of whom are under 18, so you have to have a profile,) but then found that several colleagues and former high school classmates also have pages.  It's a pretty good idea, if you either limit yourself to people you know or have the patience to wade through the drivel.

LoadWB's MySpace Page

There's some Amiga-related stuff there, but I took most of my things down as I was preparing to delete the page (long story, not worth telling.)  I'm in the process of putting it back up.  But I do have a number of my rants there...  everyone's entitled to my opinion ;-)

[spihunter]

I'm not a huge myspacer myself but, for bands its nice to have a page you can setup and have steaming songs with little to no effort until you can get a real website up.

Which I'm still in the process of... (see sig for link)

Someone on a.org has this myspace Scientific Superstar

Too bad it doesn't have gears scientific on it though, i love that song.

As a musician Myspace works pretty well for me. Its a
pretty easy forum for people that I played with or met
in my travels over the years to find me. People I hadnt heard from in 15 years have reconnected and that seems good for the soul.

Its also pretty well accepted within the music industry
for networking.  Wanna write with someone? Need a drummer?
Well, if you dont have one in your friends, someone you
know does.

If you have no use for something like that, OK. But I
really dont know much about fawning adolescent girls. Never
actually dealt with any on myspace.

Bah, should be called WASTEOF(My)Space...

So messy-looking and pretty pointless, I reckon...

Most of what it does can be achieved with an IM and email...

I guess it's just an advertising site which appeals to people who think it's "kewl"... LAME!

Unless family and friends have IM and email addresses which change like underwear, but they all have a web browser.

Really, the idea is quite keen: a single place for pictures, videos, 'blogs (I really hate that term,) in a more passive format than email.  My cousins and other family members can browse my page at any time of the day and see what's going on.  It really does beat sending emails out to a butt-load of people, some of whose email addresses are no good, or the box is full, etc.  This way the effort is on their part: all I have to do is make a quick post, and blammo, done.

As for the advertisements, I never see them.  Between AdBlock, FlashBlock, and NoScript, I don't see crap I don't want to see.  Makes my MySpace experience, and web experience as a whole, much better.

Eugh, don't get me started on 'blogs. It's bad enough that people feel the need to bombard the Internet with this self indulgent bollox, but does Google really need to return every singly bloody one of them when I'm trying to find something?
