I posted a bit ago about Myspace and how one could use it in book-blogging, advertising and all that. Several of you had pretty strong opinions as to why you wouldn’t get anywhere near it. Fear not. You are hardly alone in your refusal to submit to teeny-bopper social standards.
My profile is still up, but this fella makes some good points. In the hopes of having a book out there someday, and because I have several friends who only communicate with me through Myspace messages, I’m keeping my profile going for now. But, as I mentioned before, I only check on it a couple times a week. I also haven’t applied any of those pink-sparkly-heart designs to it, or put up tests telling the world what my eye color says about my personality.
The blogging aspect of Myspace continues to annoy me, though. I’ve a Facebook profile too…most of the information being the exact same as what you’d see on Myspace. Thing is, my blog posts that you see attached to this site? If I wanted them on Myspace, I’d have to physically copy, paste and post each one. Facebook is at least nice enough to trawl from my site on a daily basis and post my messages for folks to keep track of.
Now if only Facebook would stop telling me each and every time one of my friends burps or twitches. Those constant updates get a little tiresome. Oh, well. It’s the price that must be paid so I can prove that, yes, I do have friends.
I see that smile.
I don’t think I check mine but once a month. I really am not wild about the format. Ugly. And the ads annoy me.
