  • roflmcwaffles, on 10/20/2008, -3/+38But I liked Facebook because it didn't have all the annoying crap that came with Myspace. All I wanna do is see who in my high school class got fat and/or pregnant.
  • bradwjensen, on 10/20/2008, -3/+16Hasn't the CIA donated a few times to Facebook?
  • JRjJ106, on 10/20/2008, -2/+14I would bury my comment but I can't... some help please.
  • spepin, on 10/20/2008, -1/+12Will I be hearing stuff from a lot of people I don't want to hear things from, just like when I first got Facebook?
  • sragland, on 10/20/2008, -6/+16God this would be horrible. Could facebook get any worse? Why do i even still have one...... -_-

    Yeah?
  • ofenza, on 10/20/2008, -0/+7Oh I hate how now every band has their ***** myspace. What's the ***** point? Bands don't have a decent and relevant .com website anymore. We're back to the tripod era...

    How stupid it is to look at a 90's CD and see a tripod or angelfire official site? In a few years you'll think the same about myspace.
  • divinediva, on 10/20/2008, -2/+8Facebook has never held a candle to MySpace's integration of tools for artists to promote themselves and their music.
  • Leviathan433, on 10/20/2008, -1/+7Great - another place to not buy music from.
  • cyrusuncc, on 10/20/2008, -0/+6i've just completed a quiz, and i'm forwarding it to you too!
  • prefixmag, on 10/20/2008, -2/+7Music is the one thing that Myspace currently has a clear advantage over Facebook.
  • jjpertusch, on 10/20/2008, -0/+4all your hopes and dreams hinged on an open source browser corporation selling music?
  • hehdot, on 10/20/2008, -0/+4Same reason you got one in the first place. Peer pressure.
  • cyrusuncc, on 10/20/2008, -2/+6Who cares?
  • niradg, on 10/20/2008, -1/+4How original.
  • l33tforlif3, on 10/20/2008, -1/+4haha. i read that wrong. i thought it said firefox music store!

  • MyDiggIsBig, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2why don't they create an application where I can click on somebody I like. But they won't know I clicked on them to say i like them unless they click on me as well. And they can only do it once every 6 months or something so they can't click everybody.
  • blangley, on 10/20/2008, -1/+2Anyone who sells DRM free music will have my money, simple business model.
  • inactive, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1Facebooks sucks balls!
  • outoforder, on 10/20/2008, -1/+2Whatever makes cents.
  • JamienneNoell, on 10/21/2008, -0/+0Don't do it Facebook! I remember the good old days when Facebook was clean and clutter free, before annoying advertisements and ridiculous games filled up the pages. I got away from MySpace for a reason. I don't think it is necessary for Facebook to jump into the music market. There are specific sites for that, so leave them separate.
  • inactive, on 10/20/2008, -4/+4People pay for music?
  • zillans, on 10/21/2008, -0/+0Facebook are totally going in this direction! Look at the data collection they have over everyone! Quite amazing! Something like Google and / or Adsense on it's way! Wait and see!
