For the past year all my weird friends have been yelling to me "OMIGOSH GET A MYSPACE MYKE" And then I say "Why" and they never reply. Some one here has to know why, or what exactly one is used for, because I can't find a single reason.

Rofl, yeah. I'm still holding out on the Myspace/facebook peer pressure.

It's basically a place to meet people virtually and chat, form groups, blog, etc., but I use it mainly to keep track of my school.

Out of all the profiles I've seen, the only easy to read one with relevant information about anything was Tuxlar's blog. And that was right on the edge.

I have it 'cause 1. I have no live and B. Pics of my friends and I can rant if I have something to rant about. Also, good for stalking.

My space = profile + sig + description text

Except much more so and poorly designed.

BTW the posts on myspace aren't actually discussion, they're meant to be part of your profile.

For example if some friends of yours is posting pictures about how gay you are on your myspace, then that's like putting in your description text "ya, I have a bunch of homophobic friends, I'm pretty glad I'm not gay"

If a bunch of your friends are making posts with pictures of pot on your myspace, then your declaring what a pot head you are.

Things are like this because you have a very high level of control over what gets posted on to your myspace, so people leave the posts there that represent who they want to be.

Well, I agree that MySpace is a load of crap, but Facebook is a lot better. Cleaner and less annoying.

Well everyone knows that myspace is just the cool new way to be stalked by 40 year old men.

Blogs are forums for your real-life friends

Report, edit, etc...Posted by scwizard on 2006-12-11 at 16:31:00

But myspace is not a blog, livejournal is a forum for your real life friends. Myspace very much isn't.

It's for idiots to hang out, or something.
I have an idea. Get a real website. Then you can actually do stuff with it.

I got one once just because one of my friends had it and I wanted to see what it was all about.
Advertisements everywhere, like 30 control panels which do basically the same thing, just in a different spot, and is extremely annoying.

I just like it because it's easy to leave messages for my friends if they aren't on AIM. It's useful also if say your friend is talking about somebody that you don't know by name and you ask who the person is and your friend just brings up the person's myspace. I don't really do that much on myspace though.

From what I can tell, MySpace is a way to set up a personal page designed to:
1. Be very easy to use.
2. Have lots to do with popular culture.
3. Allow you to meet lots of new people.
The result is that:
1. It is not very customizable and takes forever to load and scroll.
2. It is totally boring and populated by totally boring people who post totally boring music (such as gangsta rap) and totally boring movies (such as low-quality ones of the page user when he got drunk during last weekend's party with his totally boring friends) which start playing as soon as the page loads, and often before that.
3. It allows you to meet lots of totally boring people.

All this is why I don't have one, never have had one and never intend to have one. Instead, I use GeoCities for my personal page. 15 megabytes of pretty much whatever the hell I want (so long as it doesn't violate the Yahoo rules), for free, and with no annoying music and slow scrolling.

I've often wondered that myself, actually. I had a facebook account (keyword, had) until they went public. Basically, I think MySpace was meant to be a way for people to meet each other but turned into a place to, well, get stalked from what I hear...

I got a MySpace only because my friends had it. I use it to talk to my gf and to talk to all the other ppl who are in the starcraft team. The big plus is that you get to meet new ppl.

I know of 1 person who's met someone through MySpace.

I've met 3 through SeN, DeviantART and &TOTSE.

MySpace is cool for a week or so, but then it's boring. At least it was for me. Not that many people at my school had it. So I was like, wtfux?
My Definition of MySpace- All it is a profile about yourself. Joy.

So far it's been working fairly well, my website isn't that big. I may change if I find something I really can't stand about GeoCities, though...like if I just plain run out of space.

Very true, it does get boring after a while. So my only us for it is to talk to my gf. If it weren't for her, than I would have gotten rid of it a long time ago. I do however, enjoy changing the BG..dunno why
