I dont know how some people can get so heavy into MySpace and spend hours posting on their profiles. It seems like a waste of time. Get out of the house talks to your Real friends and do something active instead of creating meaningless relationships online.

I'm not surprised, has anyone seen the amount of 'video blogs' on YouTube - quite honestly I really hate seeing some 14 year old kid who just discovered windows movie maker telling me about his f**king new computer...

@CorvillusWhat if those kids enjoy the music that assaults their ears? And not everyone in the world can be grammar/spelling nerds.

Well Youtube in my opinion is just a cooler service than MySpace, because it allows you to do things you dont normaly do in real life encounters, MySpace is just a friggin IM client on steroids for most people.

I'd say that it is the dumb people who go to these things...Well, Internet is full of crap.You don't have to use the crap, even though it might be only the way to communicate :(My sister (13 year old) is spending most of holiday time chatting to her friends using non-english ("u", "r", "iz"....) on MSN.She watches some weird videos on YouTube...She sends Bebo chain letters that tell you that you'll die...She takes videos of herself and posts them to the public...She wastes her time...Try and stop people from becoming cleaners for the rest of their lives and spending time uselessly, like I am doing right now...Well, I have a MySpace profile, and MSN account - they are really rared used..MySpace - poor quality website that was coded by a person who was learning HTML, that crashes the whole system...If MySpace and others were taken off - I don't think people in here would be very happy... The users of these time wasting services - are - better to stay off more "civilised" places like digg, which doesn't send you death letters and quizzes...Jeez - destroy the emo style.. they are such noobs!!!I don't get why they can't enjoy programming C++, PHP, or reading science books, or whatever - geeky stuff.Every person is born clean. In their lifetimes - spending time on enjoyement - or wasting time - they will become useless and lose the intelligence that they could have.Simply - use yourself for good reasons - and you'll receive good reasons back!I myself am one of the top intelligent students in my school. People are saying that I am so intelligent... blah blah blah - I don't think I am intelligent... I can be better - but I don't seem to be extending my abilities...Other thing - think about people who spend their days playing Runescape or other RPG, etc. games that make these people useless... Script kiddies maybe? Losers? Emos?Makes me feel so pathetic in this world...Come on you techies - make the world better and better!

I know a way for YouTube to make money... why don't they embed ads at either the begining or end of their clips.Like if a clip is 2 minutes or less, then the ads can go to the end of the clip. However, if the video is more than 2 minutes, the ads go at the begining...Makes sense.. and would work much better than banner ads, because most of the videos on YouTube are embedded on other websites.

Well actually with a little brain power you can embed any flash video onto a website- just look at the source. Even the youtube vids with embedding disabled can be embedded onto a website.

so you are saying that if the emo-kids died their profile would vanish?
