Zango Caught in Lies About MySpace?
An anonymous reader writes to mention that Zango's still under suspicion for problems on MySpace. ZDNet has the story, discussing rumours of multiple accounts, paid Zango hawkers, and mass emailings. From the article: "Boyd posted some choice snippets from the email, like this: 'Zango is fairly new with myspace sites and it took me some time to see what works and what doesn't ... more profitably, *go to a bunch of your friends* who have popular profiles and pay them (it's up to you so much. One of my partners said 5$..maybe offer to split the money with them?) to put a zango video into their profile through your site. This will give you hundreds of extra installs a day (this probably works even better than having them on your actual site).'"
...am glad I have absolutely no idea what that summary means.
Good thing he's not me.
I judt got a nre Kinesis keybiartf so please excusr ant egregiou typos.
The email contains the following fun snippet:
2) MOVING GIFS. This really gets peoples attention and vistors love this shit. Heres an example of a perfect site: www.free-extras.com
Look at the karate guy doing flips: its awesome. Click on it: it links to a gallery of a 100 zango videos. THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO. Its simple, cool, and WAYYYY more profitable. Find a moving gif online and put it on your site. Make it link to a gallery.
Ok, what fucking planet do they live on, and more importantly, WHY HASN'T IT BEEN DESTROYED YET?
I'm out.
Profiles named Zango were found on MySpace and Zango later admitted an employee created the profiles and said it was a "mistake".
See... it was all just an honest mistake. You know we have all accidently tried to force feed people adware at one time or another, it's a natural human thing to do.
If this signature is witty enough, maybe somebody will like me.
Lies, lies, and more lies. They've turned the internet into a US presidential election.
MySpace told Live Journal to tell Zango that they are no longer invited to their party and that Zango doesn't have a boyfriend because she's a heffer.
"Our opponent is an alien starship packed with atomic bombs. We have a protractor."
Anyone have a decoder ring that works for this submission? I think mine is busted.
I think it's only fair that since they give you a place on their systems & let you call it "myspace", that they get to take some space on your system & call it their space.
Wanna fight ? Bend over, stick your head up your ass, and fight for air.
Like, ohmygod, you haven't heard about ZONGO yet? Lol, it's, um, this really strange, uh, THING on MYSPACE!!1!! I TOTALLY had a huuuuuge problem with it the other day!!! :) It went like, this...
:-(
I was blogging on myspace on the PC. And it was all, like, beep beep beep beep, and MySpace was, like, gone.
And I was, like.... "Uunh?" (O_O)
Zongo DEVOURED MySpace.
It was a really good myspace.
And then I had to do it again, and I had to do it fast, so it wasn't as good (;_;)
It's kind of... a bummer.
My name is Ellen Feiss, and I MySpace...

What I typed looks like <URL:slashdot.org>
Is that what you were wanting to know? As far as how slashcode actually handles the url tag, I have no idea, other than the input and the end result. It could very well have a hammer that hits a monkey on the head everytime you use a URL tag, and then the monkey writes out the URL on the back of a receipt, and mails it to Mars, where the top secret Chinese Mars base receives it, translates it into a string of digits in base 3 representing the EBCDIC encoding of the string, sends it back via pulses of plasma, which are detected by their interference with the cell phone satellite system, and then punched onto cards, which are used to build a large pyramid, which, when it inevitably falls, is designed to fall into a perfect stack in the correct order on a card reader, which generates the actual hyperlink in your final post. But I doubt it.
SIGSEGV caught, terminating
wait... not that kind of sig.
