I remember signing up for MySpace because I heard it was "what all the kidz were doin."
My very first friend request - after Tom of course - came from a young lady who looked like a model and wanted me to check out more pictures of her on another website.
Spam.
It only got worse. Soon there were all sorts of folks pitching get-rich quick schemes along with shitty bands trying to get me to listen to their sub-par works.
And then there were (and still are) the bugs. Half the time the site doesn't work.
Google paid 1.65 billion for this?
In the last couple of weeks I've become addicted to Facebook. I've found loads of folks I hadn't heard from in years. Best of all the interface and nifty real-time features makes it easy to maintain my profile and keep up with what my friends are doing on theirs. And these are real friends, not random strangers.
Best of all I have no scam artists or fake hotties waiting for me when I log in.
Thank you Facebook. You've killed MySpace and given the rest of the world something to get excited about.
Now who's gonna tell all those folks who own stocks in Google?
