Well, different ppl have different views, and you cannot say others view is spam as it is not the same as yours... I still think that myspace is too messy, and a dangerous place to visit, and chase off visitor with their messy layout and obscene profiles... However, of course there is ppl that love myspace and using them, which those are ppl who do not mind their layout and like their services...

Myspace is ok. It can get you in trouble but it can also please you. I've been a member for about a year now. It's only gotten me into trouble once. You gotta be careful about what you write and post. If your applying for a good job make sure you put some things on there that dont hurt you. Jobs have been looking for people's myspace recently and ppl get screwed over. A lot people just spam myspace and try to accumulate tons on friends and stuff. But it is a gr8 way to make friends and meet some new net buddies

I don't have a problem with myspace.

I got one because one of my best friends is moving to china this summer.

And, it's a great way to keep in touch with your friends when you get grounded.

Man it sucks being a kid.

MySpace is where people that don't deserve to have webspace on the internet get webspace on the internet. People make profiles there which make geocities pages look professionally designed. Then we have people who want to be your friend who don't even know you just to increase a stupid number on the front of their page. Bands that can't make decent music also inhabit myspace, never to be discovered. MySpace also encourages people to be vain, which I do not approve of, really. There is no point in being vain at all - it just inflates your ego, or deflates it when you realize that nobody really cares that you have six toes on one foot and you have a cat named fluffy you likes to eat watermelon and you call silly, nor do people care that your sister is fat. The only redeeming value of myspace are the forums, which really show that all the site is is a big forum with profiles which you can customize to a point that you shouldn't be able to. Theoritically MySpace would be better run off vBulletin.

In the beginning Myspace was awesome. It was a place for communication and meeting people. However, then came the Era of Myspace whoring, if you've been at Myspace you;ll know what I'm talking about. Myspace whoring wasn't really that bad, at least not as bas as it sounds. A Myspace *BLEEP* is just some one trying to have a large number of friends, not someone involved in illegal sexual activities or anything of the sort as you might of guessed. Any ways, this Myspace whoring idea of every one trying to have so much friend led to *BLEEP* trains. *BLEEP* trains are also not what they sound like. *BLEEP* trains were seperate website (not hosted on Myspace) that would allow you to join a train and then advertise yourself in bulletin posts, as well as all other people in the trains. This is when Myspace took it;s first step downhill. See, every one, or what seemed liek every one, became a *BLEEP*, we all just wanted friends. So the bulletin boards were now flooded with these obnoxious *BLEEP* trains, and Myspace started to slow down. It got very slow quickly. However, this whoring and what not faded away once people got a grip on their lives and realized adding a bunch of random people to see how many friends you could get was a waster of their lives and an invasion of their privacy. A little bit of whoring still goes on, but not nearly as much, now we are faced with the second, and worse crises of Myspace. I though Myspace was all good, whoring was leaving, and the site became rather fast again. Then, all these bulletins of porn a,d spam came. This was not just spam, though, fake Myspace's and other phony sites were being posted in bulletins to extract Myspace user data. With these fake sites being made the people had success in phishing the passwords of many Myspace users. They would steal the accounts of the users they phished and further promote what they were doing. Since they would post stuff on your friends accounts you would receive the bulletins, and since they were your friend you would generally trust them This led to even more spam and accounts stolen. Soon enough Myspace was flooded with phished accounts displaying advertising on them, trying to lure other users to give in as well. After a long time of this ruckus the moderators at Myspace freed many of the accounts and tried to prevent the phishing. Myspace has almost gotten rid of the spam, however there is still a bit today. But, with this little bit of spam many users have turned to alternate surfaces such as Facebook. Even though Myspace has gone down, from the beginning to end, it is currently on an upward swing, finally. That is pretty much the history of Myspace and where it currently is, however there is a point I would like to conclude this with. I believe Mysapce has no privacy issues. Many people feel Myspace is legible for their problem. IS it really their fault though? When you sign up for Myspace you are in charge of what happens, don;t blame Myspace if an older man is trying to seduce you, block him, if you don;t than it is your fault, and your alone. Many people say Myspace needs better moderation, but do you think you could do any better, look at the numbers. 188,830,876, yep, that's the user count there, not unique because some people have multiple accounts, but you get the idea, that;s a lot of people. To many people to be controlled. That's all I have to say about Myspace.

Sorry about the bleeps, I was saying w h o r e trains, that is what they were called.

Yes I agree, the original essence of MySpace.com networking is lost, with lots of false profiles created & sold. MySpace is biggest home of spammers these days.

I have a myspace. I think its pretty good, but they could seriously do more on the security. There are so many accounts who are so *obviously* keyloggers/bots. Those ads that hack into ur account and make u post junk on ur friends profiles are really anoying. People are now however getting more hooked onto facebook... Im not sure if is for the better. I dont have friendster/bebo or any of those other websites, so im not really able to compare effectively ;(

Myspace used to be more about the music and the scene. It was pretty cool for that back then. It has become so popular now though, it is unbelievable. It is rather uncommon for somebody to NOT have a myspace. Often times when I meet new people I ask them for their myspace url. It has become just another way to keep in touch with friends. It lets you know where your friends are or where their going. It lets you know what their doing. It's pretty addicting too lol.
