- dailyclerk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1damnit! i almost had this story first. interesting nonetheless for myspace to do this.
geez. whats next? movie studio? modeling agency? adult video studio? - ProAm500, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2though its an interesting story, it would be nice if people would keep opinions out of their descriptions of the headline...
- TheAttacks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here come mass amounts of scene bands.
- bryan8m, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MySpace sucks. The MySpace virus writer should have crippled the entire site.
- jpbleuu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0alot of the band on myspace suck. at least the ones that i have come across, or the ones from around boston that want me to add them as a friend. i'm sure that some really good stuff could come out of this as well though.
- innternal, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0myspace sucks
that's my opinion n_n - Brak710101, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1As I have said before:
MySpace = Internetwasteland full of wanna be template/CSS editors who can't and people who don't even know what a blog is. - gamer31, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"MySpace sucks. The MySpace virus writer should have crippled the entire site."
Yeah take advantage of the cancel my account button and the reason box for the virus instead of friend requests - Enigma5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0who still uses myspace......its OLD news
- speel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0myspace owns :) .. just the old farts have somthing against it
- robobat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Myspace = Geocities of the 90s.
- EagleX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1MySpace is a haven for emo's and people who think that the little HTML box is "all the fad".
- striker1211, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Oh... no... say it isn't so... MORE Simple Plans and Good Charlotte's!!!! NOOOO!!! "Oh i hate my life, mommy hates me, daddy hates me, i hate my wife, i hate my liiiffee, oh whiiiinnneee, yeah, yeah, whiiiinneee"
(sticks finger down throat, pulls out finger, inserts handgun... finger too slippery from vomit to pull trigger, NOOO) - foohookups311, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1***** myspace music
- foohookups311, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0This gives more power to all the teeny bopper fags and house music losers hahaha
- jj555298, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Myspace is a horrid waste of time, it's what today's MTV generation uses to keep in "contact" with all of their friends when in reality they are just a phone call away, using the cell phone their parents pay for. I Hate Myspace, I am not an old fart, I am 17. The only good aspect of myspace would be finding lost friends, although on your innocent quest of finding long lost acquaintances you become a myspace whore. See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=myspace+whore
- varianallen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Heh. Actually ProAm500, that's not my opinion of MySpace at all. Actually, I'm sort of neutral when it comes the site. I know some people who absolutely despise it and some who are addicted to it (mostly girls).
It is pretty easy, however, to predict the response of most people to anything regarding MySpace, as seen above. - zenghost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i like myspace...lots of hot girls...haha
- gman_86, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0myspace is terrible I can count the number of good profiles i've seen on 1 hand. every now and then you do find someone who managed to do something with the html, this one is pretty good: http://www.myspace.com/nandastone
- AllnightChemist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Myspace = Geocities of the 90s"
Geocities CIRCA 1990s, maybe?
Anyway, I like it. Saves me dozens of phone calls. - kris.mallory, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It is what it is.
http://www.myspace.com/krismallory - Shii, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Myspace Records, the official label of crappy indie music
- PrometheuZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey Myspace dummies! What they do is reel you into their structure, suck you in, and then start charging you for access, lol!
- MattZed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i can't describe the crappiness of the bands on myspace. my buddy loves this band that has their own myspace and i went to go and see them live, and aside from one song about marijuana all their other stuff sucked. +digg but -myspace
- rabidchipmnk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My opinion basically goes with what most everyone else said: Myspace sucks. I reall can't see why anyone would want to have one, but that is my opinion. I guess I could see an adult using it in order to keep in touch with people he or she hasn't seen in several years, but other than that, I think a chatting client and a blog are superior to a Myspace.
As for a Myspace record label...I think theattacks said it best. It's just going to be a bunch of scene bands. - petard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MySpace is really annoying! How does it "save you" phone calls!?!? Just CALL! It's better to talk to the person as it gets to them faster, and you dont have to wait hours for them to get the message!
- ohgr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm an old fart. I have a Myspace account. It's cool to find long lost friends on there. It's nice to keep in touch with friends who have moved away and married. I don't feel I fit in the negative views that have been expressed on this digg.
I do agree though, the emo kids, hip hoppers, and Gothy kids are a tad annoying. Of course I don't associate with teenagers. And I couldn't agree more with the horrible notion that Myspace will be responsible for spawning hundreds of Simple Plan clones in the future. It makes me dread the Internet and wish it didn't exist, so that ***** bands can go back to being naturally forgotten about instead of recycled over and over again with heavy advertising on the net. If the net wasn't as popular as it is today, I guarantee Slipknot wouldn't of made it past Ozzfest. And that's why Korn is still making albums. - idiggeverything, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.babesofmyspace.com/
Rarely updated though. - charmedguy18, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I love myspace. You are an idiot to say myspace sucks just because it does YOU no good and gives YOU no pleasure. Other people like it and trying to put people who use it down is ridiculous, people are so low. Why cant you just say positive things? maybe because you have low self-esteem and you can't get a girl/boy, maybe because you have no friends. Whatever the case is, it's not our fault so keep your frustration and anger and whatever else you have to yourself or give it to people who actually want to listen to your crap.
- your_mom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0all i can see from this is a really stupid form of a stupid reality series via podcasts. since its fox and all
- wired4u, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I hate my space, with a passion. I met someone at starbucks a few weeks ago and they ask "do you have a my space account" as I am sitting there on my powerbook. Nope. MY SPACE MUST DIE

Anyone notice how all the videos people put on the pages auto play? Heaven forbid someone has dilaup and you might have to set autoplay=false. That is if you even know what html is. - ThinkBox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Myspace = Geocities of the 90s."
wow, that is so true... - eaasness, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I agree this is the downfall of myspace. "The evil is growing."
- ONEentity, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MySpace is terribly designed.
- ohgr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Myspace = BBS for the technically incapable cool kids
- striker1211, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"I love myspace. You are an idiot to say myspace sucks just because it does YOU no good and gives YOU no pleasure.

That's like saying "dont be mad cuz i smoke crack, just because it gives you no pleasure, don't hate it." It ANNOYS me, and i will hate it if i want. I have the right to my opinion, as do you (and everyone with a myspace account... Myspace is... ok i am not going to bash, i will just say one thing, it's owned by FOX... the same people who brought you Joe Millionaire and Simple Life. 'Nuff said. - andreizilla, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0http://myspace.com/andreib
- ohgr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"i will just say one thing, it's owned by FOX... the same people who brought you Joe Millionaire and Simple Life. 'Nuff said."
Don't forget the Simpsons, Married With Children, and Family Guy. But Family Guy must not be good I guess. - Brady, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0NOOOOOOooooooo..............
I HATE MySpace. - lordelric, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I agree with striker1211. While I do not use it personally and have no intentions, some of the people I work with use it regularly to keep in touch with their circle of friends from high school.
- anthony1124, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0when posting opinions about music on my space, we should all list 3 bands we really like. there are a handfule of good bands and really bad bands on myspace.
i mainly use it to communicate with my g/f in Japan. it's a really easy way to show what we're up to.

the custom html and css elements that they give to their users should be taken away, with all the banner ads, and people not knowing what they're doing, i've never came across a decent looking profile. - craigtheguru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I was wondering when this would happen. I am disappointed that it is affiliated with Interscope though and is not a full independent.
- nato64, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0myspace must die
- PrometheuZ, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Hey 'charmedguy18'...if you're anywhere near as pretty as you appear on your profile, then I wouldn't think you'd have any use for Myspace to begin with. Unless you're a crossdresser perhaps? Transexual perhaps?
- Hexxagonal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What I hate about MySpace is that they let their users completely redo their page. Anyone remember Geocities pages? THIS IS WORSE!
- bnoble, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0The potential that the Internet had as a medium for high culture has officially rendered itself naught.
I've not given up on the Internet, I've given up on the majority of users. Well, even then, the paradigm has shifted. The majority has shifted. Moves like this record-label one can only be fueled and perpetuated by ***** who aren't afraid to ***** themselves in the face every once in a while.
Go on, user. Go ***** yourself in the face for a bit. You like the way it tastes. - nandastone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't think either of the arguments here are totally correct, it's actually a mixture of both. Yes, there are plenty of terribly annoying profiles with videos that play automatically, javascript effects and whiny emo kids. But it can be very useful, especially for communicating within a group of a real life friends. I'm sensing bitterness/envy on the part of the people downright trashing it.
Until someone creates a better networking app, I'll keep using it. -
