I hate MySpace.
Strong sentiment, I know, but have you actually had a chance to look at the site? I mean the extremely annoying habit some users have of having music start when you come to their page. Some are only mild (choice of music but still relatively fast load) to wanting to shoot their brains out for ever thinking it was a good idea in the first place (the kind that completely crashes my browser).
The page designs are absolutely terrible and incredibly tacky. It comes across as far too psychotic with ads taking up every unused piece of real estate. But then again, a bunch of 14-year-olds (both real and people who act like it) can't really be expected to have too much taste in anything.
And the ridiculous amounts of friends that I've seen (upwards of over a thousand people and more) is insane. Do these people actually have anything in common with any of these "friends"?! Or are they in some sort of twisted race to see how many more MySpace "friends" than the other guy they can get. Having had an account for all of 2 seconds I can attest to how easy and quick this can happen. In the brief time I had a MySpace account, no less than 10 people asked me to be their friend.
I think it was absolutely hilarious (not to mention extremely relieving that I don't have one) that MySpace gets hacked apparently several times. And people still use the site. Amazing!
On to Facebook. It was started by a college kid a few years ago for Harvard students. It has subsequently expanded out to other college and high school students around the world. Since I'm far from being either, I never got the chance to really see what the spot is about (having a much better "social networking" site elsewhere). I am really curious about it though. It's a definite possibility at some point in the future to check it out. My only hesitation is nervousness about getting hacked on a MySpace level. But that may well turn out to be unfounded. I just wanna wait and see.
Anyways, onto my friends....
