Why myspace is totally balls...

Ok, so you want to make an new blog. Yay, good for you. So what do you do? Well if you are like the 50 million other lemmings out there you create a myspace page. Why? Because everyone else is doing it, and we all know, the best place to put all of your dirty little secrets is online where every whackjob in the world can read it.

The place is basically a dramaqueen central. Anyone and everyone who ever wanted attention can get it. If that's what you are looking for then great. Mission accomplished. If you want an actual blog service though, the site is balls.

Things I despise about myspace in general...

  • The site is clunky as hell. It takes forever to load pages.

  • People have no clue how to build a friendly webpage, and all of those people flock to myspace like hyena's to a rotting carcass.

  • Everyone has to have their damn song playing on their page so that it automatically loads when you open their profile. Which just bogs things down even more. It's even better when they have terrible taste in music so that your ears are bleeding by the time you finally turn the screeching off.

  • The actual programming for the blog threading sucks.


  • But hey, thats not why its users are there in the first place right? So be free, walk in your self imposed darkness my friends. While you are bumbling around looking for a clue I will enjoy a decent online service instead.

    Myspace blows donkey balls!

    Granted, Myspace is balls. However, it is so widely known that anyone who is smart about creating their site, could use it for mass exposure. At my school, where I'm learning about web design and am getting irritated daily at the mistreatment of personal web space (like those stupid songs you mentioned earlier), career services tells us all that employers look us up by email and name on Myspace and hire or decline by the way we represent ourselves. So it's a blessing and a curse and only effective for the few that know how to use it.
    *Notice, my page has cleaned up a lot!*
    You're a genius big brother.
