MySpace.com: It's shit

I know every tom, dick and ugly phil have a MySpace.com webpage, and it's apparenlty the 'cool' thing to have, but the site itself is terrible.
My sister has a 'site' there, and I thought I'd comment on her blog; unfortunately I couldn't without signing up. So I did.
The Javascript popups during registration are truely annoying, and the reliability of the site is something to truely laugh at. I'm also trying to figure out how I have a 'friend' called Tom who I've not met/known/conversed with.
Suffice to say, I won't be using it any more (except to annoy my sister)

I agree
MySpace is massively overhyped.
As far as I can tell it's basically LiveJournal, but with corporate users.
Tom is everybody's
Tom is everybody's friend.
"I work at MySpace and I'm here to help you. Send me a message if you're confused by anything."
Yes, it's shit.
Myspace is ubershit, you
Myspace is ubershit, you can't even register on the fucking site nowadays, not to mention the crap/non existant customer service they offer.
Ditto
I used MySpace for a while - I updated my page once, and then simply put a redirect on my page to send users to my personal blog.
The adverts get annoying, and the only thing I've found good about it is the ability to listen to new music tracks for free on other bands' myspaces.
The sooner the hype dies down the better!
The 'Turd' is polished!
David,
Obviously agree with the comments so far but I found this while surfing recently that shows, given enough time and skill even the nightmare code behind myspace can be tamed!
Cheers,
Jack
Lmao
Yeah, everybody I know has a myspace. And I'm serious, the only people I know that DON'T have a myspace, are my parents.
I sometimes go on, to chat with my friends or cousins.
MySpace is indeed very shit
MySpace is indeed very shit but I must admit that I do use since I have friends on there (actual people I know, not Tom) who I can only contact via MySpace.
MySpace is often a good example to give to perfectionist developers who will sit on a project tweaking it for months. It shows that even a badly written web-app with an ugly interface can still be amazingly successful (and profitable) with the right hype and marketing.
i love myspace
TO ALL MYSPACE HATERS!
yall bitches just mad yall didnt make millions comming up with the idea of myspace. quite frankly i think TOM is a genius for commin up with it and although i deleted my page (because my mom told me to) i still love myspace!! SO FUCK YOU ALL!!!
You dick head. Loads of
You dick head.
Loads of people have come up with the same idea, "Tom" just spent more money in it.
If thats genius then fucking hell im a god. Also i bet the tom account has about 30 admins controlling it. I wonder if Tom even exists or if he is just some gimmick.
Every time i go to myspace "Sorry an unexpected error occurred" FOR FUCKS SAKE! Thats windows servers for you.
I really hate that site but everyone uses it.
re: i love myspace
Thank you for that indepth review of the economics and envy surrounding the founding of MySpace. I do admire your grasp of all things monetary and believe you would make an excellent chancellor of the exchequer; but I am even more overjoyed to see that your grasp of spelling and punctuation is superb too. I am sat here at the sad old age of twenty six with 11 GCSEs, 3 A levels and two degrees in envy of your fluency in slang and profanity. My poor slow brain would just like to request that you return to flipping burgers and spitting on onion rings in MacDonalds so maybe one day in the not too distant future you may earn your first gold star for your name badge. No, I don't want fries with my sarcasm either.
There is only one way Myspace could get any worse - if it was run by the same clowns who run the NHS computer systems.
(Now how's that for a long winded reply?)
hah!
it's a far better reply than one I would have made (I was tempted to delete the comment, but I thought I'd be fair and publish it, as it didn't have any obvious spam links etc).
Genius
Oh my goodness! Aren't you guys oh so awfully clever! Something that is basically just a bit of fun and you have to slate it because it doesn't satisfy you with your massive brains. Do your own thing guys,why get so upset over something like Myspace? What are you trying to prove? Myspace may be a 'hype' success but so are most things in this world (such as McDonalds and Bose),it's a sad reality but what harm does Myspace do? This is not slagging anyone (I was entertained by Candys reply to what was a fairly crude comment,which may or may not have contained an element of truth) but there is a fairly condescending attitude going on here. I take it you all have a Blackberry rather than using one of those awfully common 'mobile phones'. Have fun in your elevated world people.
lolcat
Well, my initial moan was based on the technical problems that MySpace always seemed to have... not the people that use it or the content it has.
Unfortunately for you, as far as I'm aware none of us have {cr,bl}ackberries ... and don't live in any sort of elevated world (high rise flats are so out of fashion).
You got a point about
You got a point about myspace in the fact that it useful for interacting with people, but when you come to think about its sort of like an email in which you let any tom dick or harry read the email aswell. So my theory is that everyone just wants to be noticed, liked or wanted. And they use myspace to do so. and the tard above who was abusing, should really use a bit more brain power and work out why it was created and its purpose. To waste time
The internet is being overrun by morons yet again
MySpace is a perfect example of how 'normal' users can use a slow, ugly site with the most idiotic, non-sensical layouts and think "Wow. This is great!".
Everytime I've come across a myspace 'page', I've been left feeling confused, frustrated and sometimes, downright angry. The main thing that gets to me, is when someone tells me how wonderful it is to be able to communicate with their friends through myspace, as if IRC/chat rooms, forums, email, instant messengers, and the myriad of other communication methods/protocols available via the internet had never existed.
Because, you know, when you wanna talk to a friend through a computer, the last thing you want is a straightforward, dedicated application/service to handle that specific task. What you really want is a laggy website with a bunch of flashy shit in your face, usually accompanied by irritating music.
Don't even get me started on the term "social networking"...
