    I still have an myspace but it pretty much fell off when the spammers started spamming pages real bad. People probably did not feel like making another page.

    Speaking of these online things. Does anyone else " YELP " ? I love food and I love what others think about food/restaurants.

    Myspace / Facebook is the online version of assessing popular hangout spots in town that over time have gotten sooooo..dirty, with "those" people OMG, and elitists go establish another spot for themselves thats more chill and cleaner.

    But in actuality its true in this case...Facebook figured out you really DON'T need to be a pretentious jackass to create an online profile. Myspace was about music and making a name for yourself, "being somebody". Facebook isnt totally immune, but its gets to the core essentials of how most people really are with each other.

    Though it'll still be dumb cuz its herd mentality of wherever the most people go, everyone else will go too. By 2013 Facebook will have gotten "ghetto", and everyone will go to the next big site adding their 14th online profile to the rotation.

    Some people choose to use both because they have friends or family who only use one. It's sort of like owning a 360 and a PS3. Lots of games are on both systems, but there are also lots of exclusives that you'd miss if you only had one.

    Yelp is a pretty good site but http://www.b4-u-eat.com is better for Houston restaurants.

    Especially since both are free and simple enough for 6th graders to use.

    Myspace died really quick, it was shocking.

    Ive had a profile on both from very early on just to wh*re my website.


    One thing I find funny, on facebook there are a group of about 3 girls on my list that update their status for EVERYTHING. Its like this...

    *Cant wait to go out tonight and get drunk.
    *Getting ready to go out
    *This taxi driver is chatting me up
    *I think I'll order another drink

    They do 18 updates from their mobile every day!

    And they have about 800 pictures up...its crazy!


    JUST LIVE LIFE! :D

    Someone should come up with a special day and time to do a mass exodus from myspace. I'm sure there are thousands if not millions of people that wouldnt mind deleting their profiles and it was be awesome if that happen all at once :)

    I did a myspace profile 3 or 4 years ago. I never really got into it and when facebook became popular, I didnt even bother with it. I'm sure in a couple of years facebook will be lame and the heard will be on to the next big thing. Damn hipsters :rolleyes:

    Has anybody else having any problems deleting their Myspace? I've clicked on the "cancel account" button almost a 100 times and every time it says that they're going to email instructions that I never get. I have my main email account on file, spelled correctly, and I've checked my spam folder too. Never get anything from them. I've also emailed them through the site and they never got back to me. Had a friend that said had the same problem but she said her's eventually got canceled after a couple of days. I've been trying for a while now. I think I might just have to go with the not-logging-in-to-it ever again route, but I don't want this hot chick that I met back then to think I'm dead. Would much rather her think that I'm too cool for Myspace now :D

    Once upon a time when the internet was lively myspace was a place to store your warez. Now it is just another degenerate off spring spawned from corporate dicks.
