Your Spaces

Fun Fact: I have been trying to write this for the past few days now. Ironically enough, at least five different people have come up to me randomly and told me that they have found my myspace page. I didn't even know that I had one! These are getting out of hand!

I kind of have this thing about myspace. You see, they kind of make me angry inside. I don't like how they promote shoddy web design, (that being said from the man whose web page does not look how it should in his regular browser? HA!) weird "artistic" pictures of people taking pictures of themselves and drugs. And alcohol!

Ok, fine, they don't really do half that stuff. Or even a third. The one point that I will stick to until the day that I die is the horrible horrible no common sense design that is applied to every single myspace page. People choose background images that BURN YOUR EYES OUT when you are trying to read whatever they have to say. I hate that.

When your eyes aren't being burnt out they are trying to sort through all the crap crammed on the page just to single in on one thing. Each page is crammed with the same old info each time that you go to it and it just becomes a hassle looking at it every visit.

But I will admit it, myspaces are not all that bad. In fact, I think that I am just jealous of them. There is no denying their awesome power at creating massive social networks. Every single person that I have seen on there has at least 100 friends. If you stumble across just one page from someone at a school you can follow the roots deeper and deeper until you have mapped out practically the entire social network of the school. The part that I am jealous of is the seemingly tight-knit community that myspacers have.

When I redesigned my site with the ability to let other people contribute to it I thought that I was going to bring something new to my friends and peers from school. I didn't think that too many of them would be very familiar with the idea of blogging and getting their material out on to the web. I thought that I was going to make the coolest ever that everyone could say they are a part of. I was wrong. Everyone using myspace has been doing that for a while. A lot of myspace users have been blogging even longer than myself. I was rather embarrassed when I found all this out.

So basically I hate the way that myspace designs the layout of all of their pages, but I respect the social network that it has so effectively developed. I like the freedom that my site has given me and will be happy to leave the entire myspace world as your spaces.

Until later, check out my myspace page! Thehe!

Oh and befriend me in myspace! I want to have the most friends ever so that more people will come to this site and start contributing.

Start a revolution?
