Shut the fuck up. I assumed when you returned you would have learned form your past experience here. I can see that is not apparant.

If you don't can it and stop being such an insufferable noobish swine, then I'll start being a dick again. It got rid of you once, I would think it can do it again.

Don't be nasty Gabe-o. And yeah, LV, stop being pointless and un-topic related.

we should live in space that would be cool, but since we can't we should resume our conversation topic

I didn't mind it when it was a small site for independent bands that needed to inform their fans, or independent movies/shows. Then he (Tom) added personal profiles, and people obssesed over it. Creating badly edited images (Compelte with kids on their "friends" list saying "WOW! how did u do dat?!!11"). I kinda hate the stupid site now. Just further excuses for people to be self-absorbed idiots.

To be honest, I never knew the site existed until recently. But I don't think it is neccessarily a bad website, it has its good uses and its bad uses. It shouldn't be chastiased for the few incidents which it has been involved in recently.

Besides, you have to respect a website which can draw so many millions of people in, and have such a bad design / look. Then again, Google is similar.

Alcar...

It still gives you no reason to call me an idiot.

"Another reason why Earth is pointless."

Reason = found. That's a very stupid thing to say. Ya stupid.

Anyways, myspace is becoming a great way for musicians (and now comedians) to get reconition. So for whatever damage it may be doing by encouraging narcissim, it makes up for in exposing new talent. Hoo-ray for new talent.

Ehh, even if I'm no MySpace goer, I just don't like all of those bands that flock to MySpace.

Kimon · #40 07-14-2006, 02:25 PM

Muse is on myspace. As are the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And Immortal Technique. Myspace was the only way I.T. really advertised. And it dun him good. Matt wins!

used:) · #41 07-14-2006, 03:42 PM

Yeah, but that's just a better way to get a home page and get more viewers.

Rich · #42 07-14-2006, 03:43 PM

Yes, which is why its a very useful, good thing for bands.

My band is on myspace, check the sig.

used:) · #43 07-14-2006, 03:44 PM

I meant good for popular bands like Muse and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Mutual Friend · #44 07-14-2006, 03:46 PM

But he didn't.

It's got some nifty features. I'd also agree with their are bad users and good users. I personally think its another one of a hundred possible blogging sites thats a convienent source of certain music or publicity for unknown/local bands and a nice way to keep in contact with certain friends. However, if your into writing blogs etc and getting responses on your writing or your inner thoughts stick with LJ (I dont have one of these) or Xanga even though these are way less popular at least with people I know they are a little more secure it seems and a little less about image, etc.

Basically, I like Facebook for keeping in touch with people I havent seen in a long time or won't see too much of anymore.

Kamille · #46 07-16-2006, 10:52 PM

Wasn't their like a 14 year old girl who flew to Israel to marry a man she met on myspace? I'm not sure if this is true or if I have it mixed up remember I'm asking.

I think this thread was actually meant to be about the current generation, which has been labeled the 'myspace generation' rather than to bitch about myspace itself, because that's like shooting fish in a barrel. Or shooting Paris Hilton.

That said, in an attempt to meld those two topics, the one great acheivement of this generation is the myspace worm.

This guy called Samy put a javascript in his page that caused anyone to visit him to register him as a friend and then put the script into their own pages so that it would flow on to anyone who visited them. In 24 hours he went from 73 to 1 million friends.

Bullet Magnet · #48 07-17-2006, 05:13 AM

I just discovered MySpace, and aside from the fact that I can't work out how to get back to it, I have no idea what it is for. So far it bears my name. And nothing else.
