MySpace is just the new Friendster
Its archetecture sucks
billions of idiots bog up the bulletin board with stupid 12-year-old-AOLer-style chain letters, they bog up the whole site by posting gobs of bad HTML into every nook and cranny of their own profile pages including horrible, intrusive imbedded sound and video files, and they use each other's profile comments for inane 12-year-old-AOLer-style back-and-forth BBS chat instead of for COMMENTS and TESTAMONIALS like they were intended/designed for.
Major portions of the site crash every day, sometimes for hours at a time, and there are stupid little patronising auto-messages with obviously fake promises that the "problem has been forwarded on to MySpace" or that they are "already working on whatever problem you are upset about so don't send us complaints and it will be working again shortly," often with a fake datestamp intended to make it seem real but that they forget to update, so it will read "April 2005" or something to that effect
I still have a profile up there only because there are certain people I wouldnt be in touch with otherwise, long-lost friends from 10 years ago, etc. But tribe.net may have had noticable technical issues what, like maybe 5 times total since I joined? And they were all fixed rather quickly....
Anyway, as someone who still uses MySpace as another way to be in touch with people, I've noticed that in recent days it's been broken almost all of the time. I thionk soon it may go down for good, or the people in charrge are just gonna start arbittrarily deleting loads of profiles with no warning and no regrets because there are always a million brainless emo poseurs waiting to sign up at any given time. Just as a precaution I may save my entire profile page there (most importantly the numerous contacts I have no other way to get a hold of, unfortunately) onto my hard drive, links and all. I use LiveJournal for my journalling urges, I use web-based e-mail as my primary method of communication, and I use tribe for my online community/group needs. About the whole e-mail thing, I am so sick of getting e-mail notifications from MySpace because people who are too stupid/lazy to just send an e-mail to my Yahoo account are compelled to send me personal messages through MySpace instead, EVEN WHEN I EXPLICITLY TELL THEM "SEND IT TO DIRE_DELOREAN@YAHOO.COM, MYSPACE IS UNRELIABLE, SLOW, AND OFTEN INACCESSABLE. Why add another fucking hoop for me to jump though to read your little message when you can just send it directly to my Yahoo mail? Why must you make me log into my Yahoo mail, then click a link to MySpace's login page which often times out or just says "sorry this feature isn't working right now" then click on the mail link which often does the same thing, and then finally read your fucking message? WHY DO YOU ALL IGNORE MY SIMPLE REQUEST!??!
GAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
OK I'm done screaming

All things that suck and blow.
Sat, October 8, 2005 - 4:35 PMI think that everyone willbreathe a big sigh of relief if and when the myspace dinosaur is finally brought to it's knees. I only wish that I could be the asteroid that dooms its existence.
Oh, and those messages are the worst, especially since you always, every fucking time, lose everything you just wrote. It's like watching your dog get run over in traffic. You know there's no hope in that fucking message, just like there's no hope that Pepper survived the wheels of that F350 Diesel, and there's nothing you can do except obligingly push the back button to confirm, for the millionth time, that a blank text box will grin sadistically back at you.
That's why I hate you the most, Tom. You deny us even the hope that something could go smoothly on your piece of shit site. It's like the DMV. It's like Medicare. It's like the stock market. It's like little Pepper's lonely mound on the hill. -

Tue, October 11, 2005 - 12:24 AMI'd like to leave a swell epitaph on Tom's grave. By grave I mean a watery, silty pit. By epitaph I mean a steady stream of urine. -
