This is what happens when you don't read your mail for a week or 2:It's just ridiculous at this point. How many people even check this shit anymore?

Also, the thing that annoys me most is the volume settings on there are higher than my other players so everytime I go to someone's page I suddenly get blasted in the ears with some unsolicited beats.
The whole thing needs to go pronto.
Who's with me?!!!!
Haha, see, that's what trips me out. Maybe you're right to some degree, but it just seems silly at this point. I see people with 5000 friends and 300 views too, so go figure. I think the novelty of the whole thing will wear off soon.
its finally becoming a thing where even my mom knows what MySpace is. Once it reaches this peak, it will begin to die a slow death.
I think so, too. Apparently it still works for folks as far as promo and whatnot go, but it seems to have reached critical mass and is verging on collapsing on itself. I stopped reading bulletins a while ago--not that it mattered, anyway, as they update every two minutes with a new bulletin, so you're still gonna miss a lot of them.
I guess the big attraction now is that it's an easy, popular, free place to have your music hosted. That is a fairly attractive thing, to be sure.
I think you're both right, but still it is one of the most easy systems to get in touch with people you wanna meet and say something to without really knowing their full website and all that...but yeah, it's just a thing with "no style" at all...just don't take it too serious... I can't really say where this will go...
pr0n, just like everything else.
that fuckin nadiachick!!!

I love staying up until 2 in the morning and sleeping until noon. I enjoy watching national news, Wheel of Fortune, and Bill O'Reilly. I spend my day surfing the internet and playing freecell on the computer. I love cooking even though it doesn't taste like it used to, reading mystery novels, spending time with my family, and complaining about everything in life to my husband, Tom.

Translation: "I am married"
it's already there. they make accounts with chicks names and spam the fuck out of people trying to lure them in. it will say shit like "i'm new to your area" or some dumb shit, then it will say "but email me here because i don't use myspace a lot" and then it's a link to some Bananagangbang site or some crazy shit. kinda funny. i wonder if people actually fall for that? then there's the one where theres some 15 year old naked chick holding up a white piece of paper that appears to have "your" screen name on it, like she wrote it and wants to bone you, but it is obviously just some photoshoppery trying to lure more unsuspecting idiots into purchasing digitaltitties. i love the internet.
sayin'
I've always thought it's an excellent tool for networking & promoting, but I don't understand why people who are on there who don't have anything to push join.
I don't even except ads anymore, unless it's someone I know/know of.
What's up with people trying/becoming "myspace" famous? I still don't understand that phenomenon or "interent going nuts" fame.
See... to me, I think it's funny that MySpace has become this huge medium/venue for music because I just still think of it as some sort of e-friends network site. I guess maybe I heard about it early on, because I knew a lot of friends who were on it blogging much like livejournal.com. And I'm pretty sure I was like "eh, another damn icq/friendster/livejournal/e-scene" until they added the music hosting feature. So I signed up and put up a few songs but never checked for it. Then all of sudden it was like BAM! MySpace all over the fucking place. Bought up by a huge conglomerate media giant!! Sponsoring music tours and shows!! Releasing compilation CDs!!!!
I still think it's a nice way to keep in touch with friends. But I just delete all the spam I get before reading it, so I probably underestimate the promo advantages some people are reaping.
I don't understand "famous". Everyone wants to be a celebrity? I want to be respected for something that I do, sure. But 'fame' is so empty nowadays... it is the ultimate goal, rather than the result or side effect of being outstanding or original in some way. Probably one of my least favourite things about current pop culture -> celebrity obsession.

sounds like you fell for it, mate.
hardly. ever hover over a link?
who actually pays for porn? that's dumb.
unfortunatly it seems there is no slowing down here in the library, folks are coming in and sitting on this shit all day, it used to be chat rooms and shit now its myspace, mad shadowy dudes looking at girls pages all day and teens are out of control on this shit, there will be something new but it may take awhile, my fav was about a year ago there was these girls on some website where it let them contact dudes in prison
Yowzahz-----------Can I quote this on my myspace page as a blog?
for real though, maybe I'm serious.
GB... I dig your avatar.
As a promotional tool, however, it's been kind of a bust for me personally. I probably do better with emails, flyers and newsgroups than with Myspace in promoting gigs.
