The problem with MySpace

Recommended Posts

I am currently on MySpace. I guess everyone is. I keep in touch with family,old school chums and make new fangirls in arms but i see several HUGE problems with MySpace

 

SPAM!

I am really tired of those stupid Spam adds like *pop the girls zits* or *pluck the guys nose hair* for a free ring tone

 

I saw one that was *Shave the guy*.

 

Who makes these? Do they think they are being funny and creative- Cuz its stupid

 

And WHAT THE HECK IS A ZWINKY? It looks stupid and I don't want it!

 

The worst is the icons. Everytime i try to move my cursor over the thing it yes OH MY GOD! NO WAY or HELLLLLO. My bosses look at me funny

 

...MySpace Admins,Mods or maintenance people- They always update and fix stuff. (even when its 2 pm EST and you were just TRYIng to lok at your mail) Why can't they delet that crap? I'm sure its a ploy to get people to click and to spam thier inboxes.I mean its it THAT easy to touch a red bunny and geta PS3? Really?

Unregulated profiles

I saw my Christian Cousins profile and alerted my Aunt-The girl is 14 and is dressing like a 20 yr old. SOme kids are passing for older. There has been a lot of predetor like activity because of this kids posting as adults.I know of people posting Suicide notes on thier blogs. Should it be better moderated?

 

MySpace as a way to get noticed as an Artist

 

I want to set the record straight about something. I support artists. Everyone. Painters,Actors,Musicians,Dancers the works.

 

And in this wacky world of MySpace. Where there are fake (and real) profiles of artists I get a bunch per day

 

All Rappers.

 

I have never been a rap or Reggeton fan. Nor will i ever. Most current rap or reggeton objectifies woman and is purely materialistic. It may have been a way to get out of the bad neighborhoods but the current batch of artists (with exceptions) sound the same.

 

I know i have such a nerdy fangirl profile but yet i get 10-15 people trying to add me a day who are rappers.

 

Now what part of

 

I don't like rap don't you get? Pester someone else. Or atleast read my profile!

 

Jeeze rappers- Shove off! I am serious.Unless its different than the norm (like Christian Rap!) I am saying DENY DENY DENY

 

 

 

 

Now. That brings me to my point-Opinions. Does anyone have a problem with MySpace? Anyone on MySpace and think its wonderful?

I have no use for sites like MySpace. My son is in college and apparently a lot of college students use another site called Facebook. It looks like the same sort of thing.

I totally understand what you are talking about Tina. I used to be huge into myspace, but then it wasn't worth it. The site takes forever to do anything. I mean I click to view someone's profile, and then walk away, eat dinner, take the dog for a walk and then I come back to see if the page is done loading, sometimes it is. And all those adds make me soo angry! I can't even focus on the actual website! I got so sick of porno girls trying to add me as a friend. I am a girl and a straight one at that! Ugh, myspace has really gone downhill. A lot of my high school buddies that were in bands used myspace as a way to get their name out there and keep everyone informed of their upcoming shows, and I loved it. But now, even the music portion of the site blows. Ugh, that's why I deleted my profile sometime ago.

 

Facebook, I have one. I used to use it all the time when I was a freshman in college, and it was great, but then I realized I would much rather talk to my friends in person or and even "poke" them in person. Also, so many students have been getting busted for underage drinking and criminal acts because of facebook. I used to love posting drunken pictures of myself doing stupid stuff, but now I don't know how safe it was for me to be doing that.

 

Eh, in general, I'm not much into computers anymore, I've done the whole online blog/website thing....It was fun for awhile, but then it got lame.

VC, Perhaps its Dial up you should be mad at. LOL . This is why i got a cable modem. Much faster. But i get what you mean- I get some much rappers that try to add me. I Don't like rap. My profile is that of a serious fangirl.Its a random thing i think!

 

 

My Space is not all bad but it does pass unregulated and its a shame.

 

 

 

Most of the internet is unregulated. Or did you mean unmoderated?

 

I mean both. Delete underage and inappropriate profiles. And of the people who have died-Delete thier profiles.

Back home I have DSL and I just got a new laptop and it still ran slow, and now at school, I have wireless, and it's still just as slow. And myspace is the only website that is slow on this computer, everything else is blazin' fast.

 

I don't deny that it's great to have a way to keep in touch with people you don't get to see regularly, but myspace just makes it so hard, and that's what I liked better about facebook, especially now that basically anyone can join it.
