thoughts about myspace

Post by julian_lp »

It's been probably said already (thousands of times), but I can't believe how such a crappy site could be that "huge success". What are you thoughts about that phenomenon ?

(I think that it is more a sociological issue than a technological one)

let's all boycott in favor of showmypro.com =]
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

Wow, I am glad we didn't keep that I'm with so and so, I would have to write 10 - 15 names...jk. I think that it is a complete waste of bandwidth, personally. I think that also is a huge security issue, as well. Now that I have a little girl, I don't ever want some 40 year old perv talking to her like she is Christina down the street. All I know, is I am tired of the http://www.myspace.com crap. Does anyone know a good hacker?

No solicitation of hacking here, not even jokingly. Sorry.

I used to have an account... one day it was just gone. No explanation, no warning, nothing... just gone. "This account has either moved or doesn't exist" or some crap like that. Haven't used it since... screw them.

Neither do I. It just "works". What I was trying to understand is how can be possible that a site which apparently "violates" every single rule of site design, could become such a success. Almost no profile fit on the screen, people add hundreds of videos and flash slideshows, the color combination makes reading almost impossible...

Maybe the anarchy is the key to success... I'm not that silly to know that if the owners of the site wanted, they could hire 10 programmer to put the things in the correct place.
