Re: OT: MySpace
Not signed up, but have read that a great number of people, young people in particular, have sites on it. Most of what I've heard about is situations where (to their detriment/embarassment) people post private items that they may not want others (family members, employers, etc.) to see. I recall reading of one college-age girl discussing things (parties, sex life, etc.) and Grandma finding out about the site and looking up her darling. Oops. No inheritance there.

Re: OT: MySpace
Ya from what I can tell it is a 20 something site. I found it because of a search for my high school and was surpised to come acrossed someone who was involved in the same Video Production class as I.
I went through a lot of what the site has to offer and it is impressive. But again its really for building an on line community of friends. Very inovative. To bad it wasn't around a few years back.
Not many people my age on there that I have found.

Re: OT: MySpace
I've taken a look at it. Not my kind of thing. I prefer talking to real people

Re: OT: MySpace
Well, I think it has too much mass appeal to be just a fad (like search engine mass-appeal, not pet rock mass-appeal).
But it is myspace: ewwww, because people can put just about whatever they want on those pages. Including scrolling, flashing green text on a red background, while having four bad rap videos playing in the background simultaneously; images placed everywhere, often overlapping; excessive use of ALL CAPS and n3t$p34k (translation: netspeak), etc. Lots of idiots who post comments and pictures about underage drinking, drug use, sex, etc, and then they get offended when they get busted based off information they posted in a public space. In short, myspace as a whole represents just how low the lowest common denominator can really be in our society.
Another way to put it: taking all the pages on myspace, if you add up the signal parts, and add up the noise parts, their ratio approaches zero as you look at more pages. Signal/Noise ratio of zero is really, really bad.

Re: OT: MySpace
Myspace? Burn it. It's a stupid fad that will mark this decade like mc hammer marked the early 90's and bad fashion marked the 80's
