MySpace, that ugly site on the internet for wannabe bloggers who can't spell.
You've probably guessed that I'm not a fan of Myspace.com, that's because I have taste, and plus I am a graphic designer. In the evolution of all things internet, I'm surprised that Myspace lasted as long as it did.
If I were to define Myspace, it would be a cross between an internet dating site and a streaming porn server. The users are obsessed with the way they look and the people that appear on their friends list. If you really care about how others perceive you, I wouldn't invest spending time building your Myspace page.
For internet networking, I'm currently subscribed to Facebook.com, a classier site which has been developed with forethought and considerable planning. If Facebook was a car it would be a BMW, although not supremely aesthetic like a Lamborghini, it is functional and efficient; Myspace would be equivalent to a Skoda, not very pretty, gets you about, but when you sit in it, you look like a bit of an idiot.

You'd think society as a whole would be over this by now.
Thanks for stopping by again. I've been posting off-and-on because I'm working on my novel, and on getting a It's so cool to see I'm still getting repeat visitors, though!
I agree its not very sleek or or pleasing to the eye. Alot of it looks like visual noise to me. Maybe thats why people like it I guess; its not too high concept or imposing. Just for the average joe so to speak. Aint my thing personally. Facebook is not so bad but I still dont see the point in some of its features or applications: Poke and super poke? Not to mention intangible gifts....Cute but pointless.
