I'm so glad to see there're others like me!!!

 

I dont have 1 nor do I care to create 1..

 

just imagine what some people must say about members of online car communities who post on message boards all day and have pictures of their cars in their profiles...

 

^^^ EXACTLY!!!

-THE DON

 

completely agree.

ps- my page is not ugly

has anyone seen the myspace movie i posted up?

 

My space is horrible. I prefer the 360.yahoo.com Heck I even wrote a very small blog about it earlier,... http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-iY7wd...sDUK3L7E_.?p=2

 

I'm ashamed to say I do. I just finally updated it with a pic I joined to be in some group, but I couldn't get the invites to work, so now I have no friends and no groups :'(. Juts like real life.. WAAAAAA

 

i can garantee that the yahoo one will get just as bad to look at.

 

Here's another reason to hate them. Just got this SPAM in my GMail account:

 

great point. If you don't use Myspace that's kool, if you do so what. That's why there's 50 trillion sites out there, cause everyone has their own taste and preferences. I use it, only for people that I actually know. I see many people on there with like 300+ people on their friends list. That says to me that they are on there for a friendlist popularity contest. Not my case, you will clearly see I have about 11 people on my list and know each and every one of them personally.

About the earlier comment about people should just pick up the phone and talk to the people they know. Well that's easier said then done sometimes. Especially when most people do have jobs to go to on a daily basis and some people they know, may not even live in the state they reside in. It's much easier to keep in contact through the means of e-mail than calling on a phone sometimes.

 

Which would totally not require MySpace.

 

I have one, yeah yeah I know. I found a lot of my friends from way back when on it!! I even made a Scion xB profile. There are quite a few people from SL on there.

no one said it was a requirement, more or less a preference. Plus you can update your page with info. that you don't have to write out for everyone, they can just go on there and see.

 

MySpace is great for un-signed bands to communicate with fans, and to be discovered by others. It's also cool to find people that you've lost touch with and be able to talk to them again. However I can't make a case for all the stupid/immature reasons others use MySpace for.

 

I was going to bring up the music aspect of it also. It really is a good way for un-signed people to get discovered and/or develop a fan base.

 

the creater of myspace just got rich. anyone see that deal?...look it up.

EDIT: found it:
The News Corporation, making one of its largest bets on the Internet, announced today that it is paying $580 million in cash to acquire Intermix Media Inc., a Los Angeles-based company whose chief asset is "MySpace.com", a Web site that is enjoying surging popularity with young audiences.

Here are the winning Silicon Valley investors in the deal, as outlined by VentureWire (sub required):

Both VantagePoint and Redpoint invested about the same in Intermix, but VantagePoint came in about a year before Redpoint so its stake is worth far more. VantagePoint invested about $10 million in the fall of 2003 and owned 22.4% of the company, meaning the firm will receive about $130 million in the deal with News Corp. Redpoint purchased Intermix's shares for about $10.5 million with investments in December and February, giving it a stake of less than 5%, according to partner Geoff Yang. That would give Redpoint less than $29 million.

Redpoint also has a 25% stake in fast-growing "MySpace" after a $4 million investment placed only about seven months ago. Intermix owns 53% of "MySpace" but as part of the News Corp. deal agreed to acquire the remaining 47% for $69 million, said David Krawitz, a PR rep for Intermix. So Redpoint will get a little more than $17 million while founders, management and employees - which own the other 22% in MySpace - will take in nearly $52 million (see correction below)

CORRECTION: VentureWire has since corrected its math: Redpoint will likely get somewhere around $36 million on the sale of its 25% stake in "MySpace", while founders, management and employees - which own the other 22% in MySpace - will take nearly $32 million.

Update: See Techdirt on Intermix's adware offerings.

Update: More juicy details on how VantagePoint and Redpoint profited, especially how VantagePoint apparently caught Sony asleep at the wheel: Bill Burnham's post.

sry, but it's amusing to me. some guy who made this chit up in his basement is going to be living the life (after he offers to be your first "contact" when you join the site....yes that is him).

 

I only got one cause all my friends harrassed me to get one i litterly saw an old friend and instead of asking for my # or my email they go whats your my space im like uuhhhh i dont have one of those

 

so i see most people either dont like myspace because its become too trendy and unstructured or simply use it as a tool to manage their they already know?

maybe the next step is to meet new people based on similar interests? just throwing out ideas...

 

that is always an option, but in doing that you also open the doors of your life for potential crazy internet drama with some loser who spends hours upon hours wandering the net looking to con and manipulate people. Not to say everyone online is like that....way back in the day I have come accross some really good people but I'm over that and I only care to chat with people that I actually know on there. I don't have time to sort through the riff raff. And the whole, "let me add you too my friend list because your cute" has become ridiculous and therefore I only add people I know.
