Myspace is everything that is wrong with the interweb

I think you summed matters up quite nicely there.

It's not just the users which grind my gears, its the fact that it is such a massive failed opportunity commercially. The amount of money they could be lining Murdoch's pockets with if the development team over at Myspace knew how to design, or program, or optimise, or adapt to their target audience, or update the service with new features, or generally have the faintest idea about online usability.

i love myspace but i only use it for finding new music , know ive found music blogs ive started using it less but a while back it was my main way of findings artists i liked

i was also buzzing when my fav artist at the time sent me a comment

loads of my mates/ex mates use it to chat to each other but i just use msn for that tbh

Also hows the best way to take those cool dark background up above myspace photos like all those hipsters have?

www.myflashfetish.com is pretty decent for stuff like that

otherwise google MySpace Layouts

The only comment I have on MySpace is "Damn.. why didn't I think of that?"

I used to be part of the anti-myspace brigade but then I got one to put music on, it does the job nicely.

I'm certainly no fan of myspace and if I felt I had to spend long around it I'm sure I'd build up a loathing. For sticking music up that people can easily find though, it's ideal due to its popularity.

Yeah poor Murdoch, he's such a bad business man.
