I have a very serious question: what is the point of

[XemaSab]

MySpace?

So you make your shitty little page and your friends make THEIR shitty little pages and you link your pages together and then what?

Like, I don't understand why people spend time on that site.

1. It was meant to allow musicians to network with their fans inexpensively.

For that kind of thing, I think it does well. Social networking? Can't help ya. Not a member.

[Shakespeare]

5. Musicians, and authors, too.

I use mine strictly to keep tabs on the bands and authors I like, especially to make sure I don't miss any shows or book signings.

[bridgit]

27. that's how i use mine it's art, music, dance & theater based...some cats too...

for instance, filmmakers contact me for lighting queues & design, opera houses, dance troupes, artists, galleries, museums, yada-yada...oh and friends too :)

[MrCoffee]

2. there's a point to myspace?

who knew?

[LSK]

3. its a place where you can hear everyones favorite song

apparently

:grr:

[KG]

4. an angst respository

from what i can tell.

[Bullwinkle925]

6. My daughter loves it . . .

she has been able to find high school classmates who have logged on in the past few years.

[Guava Jelly]

7. It is another way to communicate

I talk to Some of my Du friends there.
Yes it is sort of narcissistic in nature.
But it can also be pretty fun.

[idgiehkt]

8. I hadn't made a page

but since I found out that my sister-in-law's dog has a page, I am reconsidering. I'd love to be an animal's myspace friend...I'm all for new experiences.

[skygazer]

9. It's a good way for psychos from your past to find you

So if you're looking for any of that, I suggest you sign right up. :eyes:

[Left Is Write]

18. It's also a way for long lost friends to find you.

Friends who don't happen to be psychos, friends you'd lost touch with and are very pleased to have reconnected with.

[Kali]

21. ...

:spray: :rofl:


That or YOU can be the psycho from somebody else's past :rofl:

[Lethe]

10. why are the pages always so tacky?

on half the pages you can barely read the text because the backgrounds are so crazy.

:shrug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. cruising if you are single. also cos its easy for me to invite friends

to events etc

[Fire Walk With Me]

12. It provides a false sense of belonging.

And acts as a porn portal as well.

[FunkyLeprechaun]

13. I can never understand MySpace

I started with LiveJournal then Xanga and gradually Facebook... I very briefly touched upon MySpace and hated it..

I think even for a 26 year old woman I'm an old fuddy duddy... my landlord just put in a central heating system in with fancy push button settings and I told my partner, "What's wrong with the old turning the dial-ism?"

[alarimer]

15. It is a horribly designed website

It never works half the time and always looks terrible. For all the money Murdoch paid for it, you'd think he could get someone to design a better interface.

[jobycom]

14. I haven't even figured out the point of the Lounge, and I'm here all the time.

:shrug:

[Critters2]

30. Stop looking for a point. You'll only hurt yourself. nt

[Skittles]

16. I guess they want everyone knowing their business

not really sure

[Left Is Write]

17. Yep, that's it. Just me, my shitty little page, and my friends' shitty little pages.

[XemaSab]

19. Some of my best friends have myspace pages

and they're so reductionist...

Like your whole personality, interests, ideas can be remotely covered in a few short text boxes.

There just seems to be no depth there at all. :shrug:

[Mutley]

20. I've found several old friends on myspace.

I wouldn't have known how to reach them otherwise.

[Skittles]

31. I don't want my old friends to find me

:D

[Mutley]

32. Oh, but they will.

Staying away from myspace won't prevent that. :7

[SPKrazy]

22. i dunno i have a shitty little page

and most all of the friends and their shitty little pages are DU'ers that I've linked to

I don't spend much time but I sometimes like to see what my DU friends are up to and myspace gives them a venue for posting blogs pics and to make comments on their sites.

other than that

no fucking point whatsoever probably

[Mojambo]

23. If you like independent music it is an invaluable tool. n/t

[Pushed To The Left]

24. A friend talked me into it!

It can actually be addictive. LOTS of DUers on Myspace.

[Inchworm]

25. You stole the syntax of your question from Beavis and Butthead and..

must be punished. Hehe...

:hi:

[XemaSab]

28. Wow.... I was skeptical about the value of this video

until about 2 minutes in, but the man boobs... you can't say no to that! :o

Edit: really basic, preschool spelling. :(

[Redstone]

26. Fuck if I know. I hope the answers to your post can educate me as well.

29. What is the point of anything?

So you make your shitty little life and your friends make THEIR shitty little lives and you link your lives together and then what?

Like, I don't understand why people spend time on this world.
