Ahh John Stewert he is a funny man. Myspace sucks because even then I couldn't get more than one friend...just like the real world


But, the real reason why myspace sucks is because I can't view the pics without being a friend or a member of myspace. Man, some of those girls are hot!

Are you serious about that, or is this one of your jokes.

It's a joke.

I dont have any myspace account either, in my country www.orkut.com is huge.

Originally posted by pmoisse I guess this is the new escapism....but one that's still grounded in some degree of reality (the degree is up to the individual user). I wonder how many people have multiple alias' that aren't divided in a personal/professional context (ie: artists/musicians/dj's)? If you engage in what amounts to being slightly szchitzophrenic (sp?) on a personal social networking site like this, how does this affect you in "real life" if at all?

im one of those sad bastards who have two myspace accounts
my dj profile: www.myspace.com/djbassmonger
and mine: www.myspace.com/technoretrograde

the reason why i created the /technoretrograde was to placate all my friends and an inordinate amount of people in the clubbing scene who would ask me if i was on myspace, and while i dont really give a shit about it i must admit it has come in handy for networking and keeping in contact with friends (and people whom ive lost contact with over the years have added me)

im more of a passive user, i never actively search for people on myspace and only add peopel whove asked specifically, and i never add randoms, i cbf doing up the look of the page and i rarely post comments on other pages - one female friend actually told me "jake you cant not comment on other peoples pages especially when they post on yours, its not fair!" and i cracked up laughing hahahah

at the hostels im at in Buenos Aires ive spotted quite a few travellers using it in internet cafes, and added one person who id like to stay in contact with

and as for my second myspace /djbassmonger? well read it and find out

Taiti, is Lisa Marie PKC?

Tathi: If you'd notince in my quote, I mentionned people who DON'T use two names for business/personal

Having a DJ one and a personal one is cool, even though it's all the same person behind the screen.

I am a whore on Myspace, lol

I have met a lot of people through it, but then again, I am over 30 so we run it, ha ha

Originally posted by stevieboy32808 I'm against myspace because it goes against my natural principle of meeting people in person. In other words it replaces real life social interactions with online networking. The problem with that is when people avoid the practice of developing real time social skills. Coincedentally, it is these same social skills that are required of us to be able to interact with others in the real world. That's something you're not going to get online.

That's presuming that you're interacting with people online in lieu of interacting with people in real life. The fact is that it's possible to do both and this forum (or, at least, the local forums here) are a pretty good example of that. I post in the Australian forums (which, I suppose, constitutes "online netwroking") yet I've also met most of the Melbourne TAs in "real life" social situations as well. My girlfrie... er, "the girl I'm currently seeing" uses myspace pretty frequently and has met a number of people from the Melbourne clubbing scene on there. She knows half the people I know when we're out and that's almost exclusively from social networking on myspace. Whether she knows these people well enough to consider them "friends" or not I'm not too sure, but I consider a number of the Au.TAs I've met to be real-life friends - are these relationships somehow "artificial" or less "legitimate" than other relationships just because we met on an "online social network"?

I don't know. Myspace strikes me as one big, online circle-jerk populated predominantly by boring, self-absorbed people, but then the real world is composed of cliques populated predominantly by boring, self-absorbed people as well. I don't think online networking, so long as its supplanted with healthy "real-life" interaction as well, changes the nature of relationships or human interaction in a profoundly negative sense. At worst, it changes little, at best it affords you the opportunity to meet people you wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to meet. That still wouldn't be enough to cause me to sell my soul and actually sign-up to myspace though...

I for one do not like the private accounts. They have to add you as a friend and most of the times they don't. I feel like such an outcast because the girl looks so hot. And I know she has more pics of herself in her profile, but I cannot view them.

And another thing. Myspace makes it possible for people to discriminate and say things they normally wouldn't. It is just like the internet. It is the internet. But the good thing is that you get to see how superficial the majority of people are.
