I would just like to take this time to talk about myspace. How much I hate myspace.

Nevermind the awful customised layouts that people create. Nevermind the annoying embedded music players that automatically play a rubbish song whenever you view someone else's profile. Nevermind the ridiculously non-user-friendly navigation system which makes trawling around your own page a chore. All this would be bearable if the damn site actually worked. But it can't even manage this.

I know it has a user-base four times the size of Earth's population, so a few errors here and there should be expected. That would be bliss in comparison to the reality.

Now that Rupert Murdoch has got his grubby hands on the site, you would expect it to be run with a certain degree of professionalism, but in fact it seems to have got worse. Your profile is constantly under 'maintenance'. Links within the site consistently time out. It often takes four or five attempts to post a comment. The site informs you that you have new posts when in fact you do not, or vice versa. The 'currently listening to/watching/playing' feature never works first time (this is by no means an exaggeration!), and most of the time just plain doesn't work at all.

I could literally go on, but it would be pointless. Time to boycott myspace.

I know it's hardly an original topic, but when I tried to post it on my myspace blog, it just timed out, 0bv

Yeah, I love to hate it, but I know WAY too many people who are on there. For many of them, it's the only way I can keep in touch.



It doesn't have to be ugly!

I never even played WoW and I hate it. It is kinda funny that people have died playing it though. In a morbid kinda way.

I'm sure myspace will eventually crash the entire internet and we won't have to worry about WoW any longer. And then Blizzard can concentrate on Starcraft 2. Get in!

I think if you left myspace to the emos, they might all cheer up cos no-one would tease them. And you wouldn't want that.



But if you left it to the emus...

For the music players going when you see it, there is an option to disable it from playing it immediately.



For the comment thing and not having a new one, sometimes people leave one and then delete it. thus still leaving you with that new comment sign and not having one.



and yes, maintanence have been common now but eh. i can live with it.
tommskii
tommskii on Aug 09 '06 at 4:26pm
Yeah I know about the music thing, but it's still crap.
