Title: Myspace
Post by: MeganJane on July 11, 2006, 02:52:54 am: What is your opinion...?

Btw, I have a myspace...

Post by: Will on July 11, 2006, 06:58:32 am: Myspace is a cesspool with a crappy, unscalable architecture. It is written by clueless programmers. It allows users who really shouldn't be doing design to do so, bringing us back to Geocities, circa 1999. I only have an account because it is the only way I can keep in touch with some of my friends.

Facebook is infinitely better than Myspace.

People go through the whole personal site trend. It went from LiveJournal to Xanga to MySpace, all of which are exchangable with MySpace in the quote above.

I hate it, but I have one, cause I have a lot of friends who use it. I don't like it, and never go on it though. Why can't people design their own damn website? I started designing when I was eleven and there are 25 year-olds on MySpace who can't even make a MySpace without blinding you. Laziness. The deadly sin of sloth.

Post by: Vultch on July 11, 2006, 12:08:57 pm: I have a personal page but most my MySpace time is spent on the Artist Page for TY (http://www.myspace.com/tradingyesterday) approving friend requests and answering FAQ type messages.

The site as a whole however was written badly by Tom who one day will have a daily appointment with Satan to have a pineapple inserted in the other end.

Post by: zurielshimon on July 11, 2006, 12:15:55 pm: I use it to keep up with friends that I don't see often in real life or have never met in real life (like most of you on here). I also like the pretty pictures and I write weblog entries when I feel like it, which isn't often. I don't have the time or interest to try to customize my page, though.

Post by: MeganJane on July 11, 2006, 03:26:10 pm: I like it because it is good exposure for artists, and free. I am going to create my own website, but not just yet. When I have a website, my myspace page will be secondary. I do agree that some people have no taste, and their pages look cluttered and silly and hard on the eyes. It's the same for how people dress in real life though. It also sickens me to randomly come across 14 year olds who write "SEX!"under their interests...

Post by: Ryou-Neko on July 12, 2006, 10:32:38 am: Designing a website's more fun. It's better to say, "wow, I did this with Notepad and Paint", looking at the finished product, than "I chose the colors lime green and sunny yellow and now I can't see!"

Post by: B on July 12, 2006, 01:21:35 pm: I like it for keeping in touch with people and finding out about new artists. I have a grip of friends on there I like to keep in touch with, but I'd be willing to bet over half the people I've friended are musicians.
