Man meets teenage girls over myspace... with a twist!

Re: Man meets teenage girls over myspace... with a twist!

I still refuse to get a myspace.


Think about it, what three groups of people have myspace anyway?

1- Emos
2- Posers
3- People who only signed up because all their friends had it.

1s are stupid, 2s are lemmings, and 3s (in general) need more self-respect.

Ouch.

I had one to keep in touch with some friends I hadn't talked to in a while. It's good for finding old classmates and people you used to work with. While I prefer other outlets for my thoughts and interaction with others, it was a good place to stay in touch.

I dont think this is Myspace's problem more or less than it is as the people involved. If this was a Livejournal or Xanga or whatever journal, it could more or less happen the same way. It just so happens Myspace is more popular, so i chalk this one up for retards in general.

I seen a Myspace that was mainly for art and whatever(similiar to devart), and it was really really cool IMO. Something thats not just blogging necessarily. So Myspace is what you make of it, just most people in US use it for friends/blogs/etc. My friend definetly mantains his, and looks like one of those japanese art blogs even if he isnt japanese himself. So...yeah nothing wrong with Myspace, i feel this can happen on any site.

The difference between you and me is I have less than no reason at all to go back looking for my classmates.

Infact, I went looking for myself on myspace a month or so back, convinced that my hisghschool tormenters had put up a fake myspace page of mine, you know, photo out of the yearbook, buttloads of fake info about me....

Besides, those things are scanned for when you put in your application at a new job, you know. GraphicDesignerX applies to SoftwareCompanyY, Company has one of the webnuts find the guy's Myspace and pictures of him comitting drunken crimes and working at a rock of cocaine the size of his fist...hmm. Maybe Graphic quit when he left college, but the company's still not likely to hire him.

Granted, it's a case of "People shouldn't put stupid things on the internet", but in the end tying your internet persona and real-life persona together through Myspace is just a bad thing.

This is why I keep all my online profiles in RP sites, like here, where I speak through the mouth of a level 63 hume female whitemage, and I don't need to masquerade as myself.

To everyone his own.

I just have a myspace because it allows me to do different things and I like having a particular profile I can point anyone towards outside of my own blog.

lionx is correct though, nothing has happened involving Myspace, that could not be as easily contrieved anywhere else.

If you don't tell everybody everything about who you are in real life, why would you so quickly post it on the internet? It's nice to read about a person's character, if they're not some sort of freak, but who's to say I'm not out to find and rape you?

Well, I had a lot of really good friends in high school that I've since lost touch with. No tormentors here.

I treated MySpace the same way I treat my LJ (which I have, and which doesn't even have my full name on it, so no one could find it unless they knew exactly what to look for) as sort of a filtered version of me. There are a lot of folks out there that will just put anything and everything about themselves on the internet for attention, or drama, or whatever. I'm certainly not one of those people.

Good lord.
That's why you should always be careful on the Internet, or you will be robbed by Teenage girls. That's like the number one rule on the Internet!
