gijew Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I have a MySpace but only with actual friends and not a crap load of 18 year girls that need more friends to make themselves feel better. I actually use Vox as my blog since I have a few pals that develop the thing. It's owned by SixApart, written in Perl and has some really nice JS/Ajax in there. I was told it's going live next month but one of the great things about it....unlimited photo upload, PREMADE templating that is compliant to the big standards and most of all it's not MySpace = ) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/20630-myspace-am-i-the-only-one/page/2/#findComment-92694 Share on other sites More sharing options...

448191 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 These type of sites are VERY popular right now. Especially with the 'MSN generation'. Personally I detest them AND chatting.I don't 'chat', I talk.

redbullmarky Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 to be honest, i'm not embarrassed by my own personal reasons for having a myspace account for music. like i say - it allows me to get feedback from total strangers on my music, lets me make improvements, etc. i'm also a member of a music forum, but the people there are like me - they are into writing/recording music, or into critiquing the TECHNICAL aspects of music, not the artistic, so feedback from there isn't necessarily the sort of thing i wanna hear. with my friends/family, their critique is biased. myspace is exactly the sort of people i need - varied, mostly into music, critical, etc. i reckon if they modelled it more around music and less about social networking, it'd be much "cooler". but probably much less popular.i get a *slight* feeling that there are a few here that may actually own a myspace account but don't want to admit to it for fear of sounding like a bandwagon-jumping teenager lolstill. each to their own.

akitchin Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 [b]DISCLAIMER: i hate the site and pretty much everything it stands for, so this is a biased message.[/b]i suppose no one has really drawn the connection between MySpace and Geocities. MySpace is essentially the Geocities of the slightly younger generation (for me it was Geocities that was the shit, and mostly the nerdy kids who liked to play with web design had their own page. frames anyone?) with a lot more social masturbation. pardon the terminology, but i'm not sure there's a better way to put it; people crank their friends count to feel better about themselves and stroke their ego. i'll admit MySpace is a heck of a lot more offensive than Geocities, but it's the same sort of idea of everyone trying to stake their place.i agree absolutely with effigy about the definition of a friend. gotta love the anonymity and intangibility of the web.and i'll also agree with mark about the site having some legitimate uses. music makers have a new forum with which to share and get feedback on their music, and the site's insane popularity certainly lends to a huge audience. i'm just not sure why a site like this should supplant good old in-person friend-making and social contact.why meet friends when you can chat them up in your basement?

KevinM1 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I have a MySpace account. I got it when I saw that some of my friends were on it, and figured it would be a good way to keep tabs on them asynchronously. Blogging seems a bit better suited to that than e-mail to me. MySpace does, in virtually every facet, suck, although I like the ability to add some music to my page (even though I would never do such a thing in a 'real' webpage). And yes, I hate Tom.

Mutley Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I don't have a MySpace, I visit it often though, as alot of people I know have it that have moved a way and it's a good way to see what they are upto. I don't mind the place, it's a healthy community, if people enjoy it that's all that matters and I think it's good that people use basic HTML (no matter how terrible some profiles look) we all have to start somewhere, hell, I started on AOL Hometown using Microsoft Word.What I don't like, is how capital thirsty companies grasp myspace in the palms of thier hands dribbling over how much cash they make from advertisements and trickery.So I think to be honost, you guys need to lighten up on the community side of myspace.

obsidian Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 i think there is a valid use for myspace accounts, but not on the personal level. i have a friend who plays and does lead vocal in a band, and their only web presence is their myspace account, and they have booked tons of gigs just from the community presense on there. for a business venture like that, i think it's a great way to get your name out there. but then again, i guess you would have a [i]groupie[/i] list instead of a [i]friends[/i] list ;) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/20630-myspace-am-i-the-only-one/page/2/#findComment-106767 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkBait Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 That comment about Geocities and MySpace sounds familar.I miss Geocities it was cool back in the day when I needed a free webhost to tinker around with.I dont have a MySpace account, no reason too either. I have my own webservers and my own web development knowledge. What I hate is when people think something on the web is the internet.Bob: OH yea, I'm using the internet, come see my page at blahblahlbahBobbySue: I can't get the internet to work, the Big Blue 'E' isnt doing anything when I click on itHow I miss the days of IRC (when EfNet was the only one around), Archie, Veronica, Gopher, and Mosaic was the only graphical web browser. Lynx was my best friend.... When no on knew about Napster and it wasn't corrupted by computer illiterate people etc ;)</rant>Geesh I feel old, but I'm not really not 'old'...

txmedic03 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I have a myspace because one of my ex-girlfriends set it up for me. That's about all I can say about it. It's there and um...yeah, I prefer my cell phone or a face-to-face. One of these days I'll go find the delete button for my account.
