So what? It doesn't matter if you do something simple, or if you do it badly, so long as you make a whole heap of cash while you're doing it. Business is not a beauty contest.

I wish I could have come up with those words. Very nice onion.

I think that they were first.

Any twelve year old could have come up with that list of features.

You don't need revolutionary features to get anywhere on the internet, just an original, intuitive idea.

I don't have an account, I don't intend to get one, I don't even pop by.

I do have a Bebo account that I use every so often. That's mostly because it's easy to keep in touch with people and share photos and stuff. I'm really opposed to MySpace though... it strikes me as a teenage "fad". And yeah, as has been mentioned, nothing fits on screen and you can't open a page without some loud music blaring at you.

You guys sure made what I said more complicated than it was.

I simply meant to say that I disagree. I never said Myspace was unpopular or that you need to be amazing to be successful.
