MySpace might be a little to annoying for me. I'm all about meeting new people and making new friends, but when I created my own MySpace page "Kari" sent me an email wanting to know if I wanted to be her friend (and to buy an ipod from her). I felt so used. I was browsing through the band listings thinkin' I would have a little tune play and I noticed that on just about every other bands page there was a six paragraph comment from some "friend" talking about a great product for penis enlargement. When you clicked on the "friends" link....it would take you to some poor MySpace person that had to post a big "Im sorry if you got that message on your page- it isn't me!!" There is so much spam and so many flashing ads (the shave Britney Spears head is particularly memorable) that I never really know if I'm on my own page. My niece's and nephew LOVE myspace... but I think its a little scary. Do you have to be a certain age to sign up for a space? Year of birth: 1969, school: Bob's Middle School...I guess it could work in reverse too. Birth: 1995, School:ITT Tech. It seems like you would have to be a certain age if in your profile they ask you questions like "are you married? Sexual preference? Are you here to find a date?" I guess like all the parents out there I would be concerned that my 14 year old daughter or son was not talking to 13 year old Buffy from Alabama but 49 year old Mr. Creepy McCreeperton who lives in his grandma's basement. Okay...off the soapbox. I think this could be a great forum to meet new people and talk to your friends -see whats going on in the world. All the other stuff you have to put up with to do that is just too annoying for me.
This is what I learned (about myself) in class today.
