That about says it... I suppose we'll see if they had proper back-ups. " Hah. The site says it was supposed to be back up as of ... 7:40 PST PM. Which was something like close to nine hours ago.
I like Myspace. It's an easy way to connect with people I know, and a good way to meet people I don't. I don't really see why everyone bitches and moans about it the way they do. That said, anyone that uses Myspace on a regular basis can tell you that it's up and down like a yo-yo. So why is this news?
question: who the fuck cares?
Breaking news! Some stupid website for girls, high school kids, and pedophiles went down! Oh nos! I hope it stays down forever. It's a piece of trash website.
nothing
Lol. The site is dreadfully written, obviously nobody who has studied usability has ever worked on it. It wouldn't surprise me if they don't have any backups or plan B. Tom is a cock.
I agree... if they are that big they would certainly have replication... as I roll my eyes at stupid companies.
In the end, who really cares? MySpace blows... can't do much with the pages, and seems to always attract a lower class of people than shop at Wal-Mart. I can honestly say, that the few times I have been there, I haven't stayed long.
And with all the malware/drive-by-downloads on their site... why would you go there?
of myspace's inability to cope with real life issues...
I don't understand where this is considered "stuff that matters" - I guess my myspace-addicted roomate will now expect me to entertain him, so I guess I'm kinda glad I got the warning, but this is pretty weak "news for nerds" - after all, aren't we all here for speculation about what apple is going to do next?
