- 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.

- Nephets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you don't like MySpace, don't use it. Personally having a MySpace account connected me to friends, and help our show grow in popularity with the community.
Making fun of MySpace is just the "cool thing to do", but you'd guys would love it to no end if Google had a similar social networking service like MySpace. - 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...
- 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. - TheAttacks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here come mass amounts of scene bands.
- 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? - andreizilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I used to think MySpace.com is for fags, until I found out there is a community of friends on it that all go to my High School.
Some, well most, of these people may be computer illitorate -- but that's from the perspective of a Super User. Many of these people have real lifes and real friends. The pictures, for example, illistrate my point. Most of the pictures have beautiful people with friends doing social activities. That is healthy.
MySpace.com is just a gateway to Internet socialization for the non-tech-savvy youth.
If you're some loser nerd who knows ten programming languages and sit at home in front of the computer all day - well good for you. The rest of us want to or have a life. - 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. 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."
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. - Angeloo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Websites based on cold fusion suck balls.....
- striker1211, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well since they don't have a -digg feature this is all we can do. Say there are 500 users. Anything above 49 gets on diggnation. If 50 people digg it and 450 dont like the story, should it still be put up? The only thing we can do is call it lame and get it off the front page, but that isnt all that fair either now is it?
- digitalrao, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hmmmmm.. yea remember friendster..thats crap...remember...MSN spaces..i hate Micro$oft..i have some of my band friends ask me how to put up video to MySpace... I like say.. Make video then Hit Browse and Send it MySpace or OuterSpace..Im glad i dont have many friends on myspace because.. the spam sucks..the people probality use AOL dial up and think AOL is the best thing out there..NewsCorp Sucks..Watch Out Sony.. don't put Rootkits on our CD's ..bye Sony and any Media company company that does this to us..
- cvrefugee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Myspace hurts the internets.
- Wondermikej, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0my space blows... the server is slow and the functions are lackluster..
- chrism1128, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Was this a story about who likes or dislikes MySpace? or Is it about the implications of their new "label"?
Does anybody understand what they are commenting about?
If you love or hate MySpace, air that out on a news story called "How do you feel about MySpace?" - Nibi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Like we need more emo bands. I am gonna start my own called "Taking back last tuesday" Currently looking for whiny vocalist and mascara wearing bassist.
- xcheats, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The idea of MySpace releasing their own album makes me cry on the inside. Yet another company screwing artists over, as if they're were enough already.
However, I use MySpace for the same reason as most, to keep in touch with people at my High School.

http://myspace.com/25669934 - rheo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why are there so many people on here who feel like they need to attack every story posted with rediculous comments like "My space must die" or "Why is this on the front page?" Comments like this are not "cool", it makes you look like a bitter old prick who cant say anything constructive. Digg pushs a lots of content your way, accept whats there, use the comments to say something usefull or shut up. Over the last few months digg comments have gone from insightfull and interesting to utterly boring. Every comment thread is beginning to sound the same!!
Share the love people... :) :) :) - gaius_baltar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Myspace must die.
- TimmyK., on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Crisco helps you make really good cookies. If you use it on your cookie sheet it will make your cookies slide right off the sheet as if it were made of ice. And it is a healthy alternative to other mercury based cooking lard materials. I use Crisco as a salve on burned feet, and scraped knuckles as well. It can also be thinned with a bit of turpentine, and put into a pump bottle to be used as a handy anti-rape spray. Please email your favorite uses of Crisco to...
GlenDanzig13@AmericanGirl.com - mindlessxd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Maybe MySpace could be worth something if they could get a decent web designer... right now it's a POS.

http://myspace.com/25669934 - danielryan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i wonder if the cds it puts out will just refuse to play every so often and give you an "unexpected technical error".
- tbates1214, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hmmm.. a lot of off topic commenting going on. Since the majority seems to think that MySpace isn't a great place for *unsigned* artists/bands to get started (since the misconception of 'Indie" was corrected), allow me to suggest an alternative to the *Unsigned* of America.
Music Freedom

We've been members for a month and a half and we're already the #6 Artist on the site, out of the 1,000+ (including sales). It's way more Artist/Fan interactive, being that it's made specifically for Musicians and people looking for new music. Enjoy!
Oh yeah, just to add to the *myspace hysteria*.. lol.. I've sorta abandoned by music page, but I still upfate it once in a while. It's been good to us as far as weeding out who really listens. We usually don't add people up unless we message them first. Prevents the spam, lol... mmm spam... gross! lol! - charmedguy18, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey "PrometheuZ" thats not me dumbass thats Vanessa Carlton. thanks
- guk6kk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ban myspace :) how about we tell everyone to move to another website?
:D - blackcoil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MySpace sucks so hard. It's pretty much the most buggy and crappy looking community ever.
- gookie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Myspace = Geocities of the 90s."
sooo trueee. - lykedoctor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey has anybody noticed that when you try to embed a .swf, .mov, or .wmv file using the tag that MySpace now turns the tag into one of ?!??! Anybody think this is related?
If this is their new policy, I can predict the demise of myspace just like friendster.
this is the only other place i could find info on this:

OWNED! - pcgeek101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MySpace is to blogger as n00b is to 1337. I can't believe how ugly people's flashy MySpace pages are ... Blogger is so much more refined and looks good. (note: flashy is *not* good)
- Twenty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+033% emo, 33% poser-punk, 33% OMGOSH BRITNEY SPEARS
- kjartan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes, there are lots of terrible bands out there on Myspace. But, there are LOTS of absolutely incredible bands on there that never get noticed. I think myspace getting a record label is great! There are lots of bands on there that just don't get noticed.
- JuliusErving, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Though probably already reiterated in the comments several times, no one should digg this story. MySpace is a horrible excuse for an online community and it has no business getting into music. Why do so many people use the site? Its interface is absurdly cluttered and disgusting. The clashing backgrounds with illegible writing and half naked underage girls. Yeah, great site.
- kjartan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes, there are lots of terrible bands out there on Myspace. There are however lots of absolutely incredible bands that don't get noticed. I think this is a ***** great idea--hopefully this will bring more independent music to more people.
- [Lep], on 10/12/2007, -0/+0As I tell everyone who I know that uses Myspace...
MYSPACE IS GAY - striker1211, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Don't forget the Simpsons, Married With Children, and Family Guy. But Family Guy must not be good I guess."
The first two were done a long time ago. The Family Guy reference would be true if FOX hadnt cancelled them, then said "oh ***** people liked it", then put it back on to make MORE MONEY. - green1152, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"alot 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."
If you do a search for the type of music you like, you will be amazed at how many little start-up bands there are that have some amazing talent and potential.
I do believe it is a sad day when myspace has its own music label, when it's intention was to support independent artists in the first place. But I still think it's a good place to find friends and music. - mustangracerx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0so what if there are a lot of crappy bands on myspace. nobody is forcing you to listen to them. hell, there are a lot of crappy bands on MTV. there are also a lot of good bands on myspace. there are also "mainstream" bands on there as well. it can keep you up to date on you favorite bands tour or album or whatever. nobody is forcing you to be that emo kids friend. so what if i don't know a thing about HTML, i enjoy it for the networking. it does save phone calls as another said, since i don't keep the same schedule as all my friends it help me keep up to date with them and their lives. don't like it? don't use it. i don't see a problem with it. it does what its suppose to do. is the label thing a good idea? i don't know. but myspace is good for emerging bands, as long as those bands are willing to still do all the hard work it takes to be good and be what they want to be. the band a few of my friends are in are releasing their junior album and i think a lot of their success can be attributed to having a myspace page to keep fans updated on tour dates and whatnot. so myspace isn't all that bad. can they improve? yes.
- awilkinson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man that is going to be ***** retarded.
- karthurneil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Speaking from the point of view of a musician, I have to say that this could be a very good thing. One of the absolute HARDEST things to do in the professional music industry is expose your music to a broad audience, and I can attest to power of MySpace in assisting that effort. My band has been able to expose our music to thousands of people through MySpace, and even if not everyone likes it, its still one more person who's heard it. (There's no such thing as bad press.)
The advantage of MySpace having its own record label, and there association with Fox, is that the most popular bands on MySpace, i.e., the ones with the most friends, will get attention from MySpace, possibly get the money to produce an album, and maybe have a shot to make it at something they love. The world would be perfect if bands could do it on their own, but the world isn't perfect. And yes, you can make a cd for $10,000, but nobody would listen to it outside your circle of real-life friends. My band's album, which I still consider to be rather incomplete, cost over $200,000, an amount which would have been impossible to supply without an independent record label behind it. That being said, whether you like the principle of MySpace or not, a MySpace label could be a very good thing for dozens of bands.
Also, BigPopBoogie: just to clear things up, an indie band is not a band with no label association, its a band associated with a label that is independent of the major labels. The money has to come from somewhere. - lykedoctor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ok the comments couldnt handle my basic html code...
Hey has anybody noticed that when you try to embed a .swf, .mov, or .wmv file using the +embed+ tag that MySpace now turns the tag into one of +blockedcontent+ Anybody think this is related to this story? - Zac3010, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0When will people realize that myspace is crap and start learning how to make their own websites. The evil IS spreading! :P

https://www.orkut.com - karthurneil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0*BitPopBoogie...sorry for the misspell.
- sfacets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why the hell would you want to join MySpace in the 1st place?
- Morph_Ball, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So I guess this means more emo music about stuff that...nobody cares about?
Just a guess~ -
