How many DUers use MySpace? I thought it was for kids, but...

[Rick Myers]

...In hours I have found friends I haven't heard from in 20 years.

It really is an amazing tool, and at 51, I'm absolutely amazed...

Is there a DU group?

Sorry to interrupt the GD-P assault, but I thought a change of subject might be refreshing...

Peace...

4. I have followed links to people's sites

repeating backgrounds, music blaring (which I should expect, but never remember to do). Sensory overload in too many cases.

I must be getting old at the ripe old age of 40 or something. LOL!

13. Those AUDIO ATTACKS are what really get me!!!

EXTREMELY crappy designs!!!

8. If You Use MySpace, Then You Support Rupert Murdoch

Sorry. No excuses.

MySpace.com is one of the only profitable media ventures of Rupert Murdoch. FOX News, the NY Post and his other media outlets LOSE money (so much for the idea that Murdoch is a non-ideologue). Rupert Murdoch is a FAR-RIGHT activist, and if you use MySpace, you are putting money and power into Rupert's pocket.

15. That's why I don't have a MySpace profile.

[Echo In Light]

20. Bingo

16. Well use Facebook then!

Here's the DU Facebook group for starters.

29. OK then, what networking sites are ideologically pure?

[Hugabear]

21. But Murdoch supports Hillary!

Gosh, this gets so confusing...

[Rick Myers]

28. oh crap!!!

Let me go lose contact with people I haven't heard from in 20 years...

Fuck Rupert Murdoch!!! I bet that dime I made them really put them over the top...

"Rupert Murdoch is a FAR-RIGHT activist"

NO SHIT

Give it a reat.

If Rupert Murdoch buys up all the air, are you going to stop BREATHING???

SO FREAKING WHAT???

9. It's the way I keep up with my large family

I've got nine siblings and about a dozen nieces and nephews. We use myspace to keep up with what everyone is doing. Not all of my siblings have accounts but enough of them do that it keeps me busy and informed.

[barbtries]

10. i'm barbtries on myspace

like so many online communities you can't comment without signing up. i don't keep my blog there but i've posted a couple videos, and keep up with many in my extended family there or on facebook.

[cynatnite]

11. My daughter does...

We were very hesitant to allow her for a while. My husband and I aren't fans because we didn't think they did enough to protect minors. They're much better now than they were in the beginning. Fortunately, our teenager is smart about it and it's worked out okay.

12. Not just for kids

or weirdos.

I've had a page for a couple of years now. It's pretty neat, and I've made some connections with past friends, classmates, too. I'm 42. Easy to add favorite bands and authors too, and keep up with when they are performing or reading close by.

:hi:

[Hissyspit]

14. You should sign up for Facebook, too. It has better tools than MySpace

and looks better aesthetically.

If you do, PM me and I will send you my real name so you can send an invite to be your friend.

[ellie]

19. Yes! I have

several DUers as friends. A call went out in the lounge a while back. It's a really great way to keep in touch with people. I am not a big telephone user. In fact, my husband and I share a cell phone.

[Forkboy]

25. I use it religiously for music.

Instant feedback from bands I'm into.

[lovuian]
