He should be arrested for shitting in my ears.

MS evangelist apologizes for "pawns" comment

I almost forgot; queue the spammers with links to software download sites to allow you to monitor your children's activities. Nothing like a legit reason to download a keylogger... sheesh I can see it now. The next big virus will come disguised as a child protection monitoring software from https://d0wnl0ads.myspace.com/protect.cgi

The cat at my house has his own MySpace, and he's only 2. http://www.myspace.com/mistercspace He uses it to keep tabs on Paris Hilton (he's a big fan), and meet up with other computer savvy cats.

People who can't stand MySpace's (or for that matter Orkut's) errors and general suck, and thus scout around to find the social-networking/media sharing site that sucks least, but leave a little something behind on MySpace as a "pointer" for their herd-behaving acquaintances. (I'm in this category)

Maybe if people were given a way to make an attractive and functional MySpace page without resorting to pink twinkly "This Space Pimped With Rogers SpacePimper" graphics and thirty megs of site garbage, they'd stop pimping and start primping.

Like this?

True, it requires more concentration than most myspace users can muster, but a slashdotter can primp to his heart's delight.

A sample: http://www.myspace.com/klenwell

If I were Janne, I wouldn't bother trying to get $ for this, but milk it for all the publicity I could! In the music world, it's much better to be able to say, "my song was sampled by this guy" than to get a little dough. He will be able to use this as a chance to write backing music for some other hip-hop artists...for pay! Think of it as an apprenticeship.

How they sound just like every other pop punk boy band on the major labels for the last decade.

But they're not bad. That song "Hold" is pretty catchy.
http://www.myspace.com/koopa (easy place to hear their stuff)

Not a bad independent achievement though. Hopefully other genres will follow.

I said the account's name - not the personalized URL. Someone else grabbed that URL.

The URL for the account in question is http://www.myspace.com/dantravels

I call bullshit.

Personally, I use myspace and facebook. They're great tools to keep in touch with your friends who you might not hang out with every day, but still would like to communicate with on a regular basis. You can post photos of what you've been up to, how your life is going, etc. Imagine a "christmas card" that's ever changing and instantaneous (also year round and much more personal :P). Also, many people are tired of the junk they get in their typical email boxes (alot of them use yahoo, hotmail, etc) so myspace is a good place to talk w/ friends w/o having to worry about spam. Also, you can meet people with the seemingly safe barrier of the internet protecting your self esteem and self security. You can see what people look like too before you meet them, so checking out that hot girl from someone's class, or getting to know people before/after a party you attend is insanely easy. "What's your myspace?" "oh mine's myspace.com/whatever" Also, bands give theirs out during shows, and you can hear all different kinds of music that you might not have experienced before, which usually gets pre-approval from friends (if they've got it on their page, they especially like it).

Basically, these networks are for you to keep a large circle of friends without much effort. Especially when people have internet access for a good part of their day, sites as this can become both fun and addicting. Imagine stamp collecting for the new century. One important thing to note is that it isn't for "technocrats", it's for relative newbies and provides an EXCELLENT place for people with little to no experience with web technologies and the inner workings of websites to gain not only first hand exposure, but, in several cases, first hand experience dealing with code.

Also, keep in mind, at many times during a young adult's life they seek to impress their peers as opposed to their parents or other authority figures. This is an instant gratification system where you can get immediate feedback for your comments and opinions. Looks like a different version of slashdot's own comment system to me. Instead of commenting inanely about world events and technology, they/we comment on subjects that are boring to begin with and don't need our help ^_~

To sum it up, I think these kinds of sites have, if not revolutionized, at least changed to a large degree the social structure within high schools and colleges where internet access is a common occurance. Some people may get "tired" of hopping sites, but I know that lots of people look forward to getting online every day to see what kinds of messages people have left them, pictures others have posted, and potential friends (and _friends_) may be waiting for them.

hehe http://myspace.com/ephemeral :P add me if you can!

But I know a number of professional artists, from bands that are fairly well-known and have done national and international tours, and they make middle-class salaries.

I'd rather pirate the track and give the artist the buck directly. If only there were a way to do that...

Anyone brave enough to check this out? Hopefully they did fix this. If someone figured out how to post this code to a certain popular social networking site it could have disastrous fallout.

I prefer many of the pages on this popular hang out for my examples of truly painful web "design".

MySpace is more of a hosting service itself. The individual pages do not have to suck.

Other sites regularly cause me to vomit, so it can't be too hard.

The murderers myspace profile is here. Found it after reading this article

Here's BonnieGrrls's profile.

From a link in the article:

"The attacker had registered a MySpace account named login_home_index_html, meaning that the MySpace page hosting the fake login, looked like a legitimate place where users would sign on to the service."

So it was just a user page but it DID have myspace.com in the URL. The URL was:

http://www.myspace.com/login_home_index_html

This kid really is awesome. His editing skills are unreal.

Check out his MySpace page. He has other material apparently.

Wow, free web hosting! How could it fail?
