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

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

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.

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.

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.
