Ok, I just started using MySpace the other day. It has some good points and some extremely bad points. I have been pleased to have reconnected with some friends that I haven't seen in years. Admittedly, that's only because they found me. It's damn near impossible to find anyone. Especially, since when I search my high school for example, I get results with people who weren't even born when I graduated.

There is so much spam on MySpace that it is almost sickening. Also, can't people figure out that there is a site called Flickr.com that will host your photos free of charge and you don't have to get that piece of shit bandwidth exceeded image from photobucket.com.
While I'm on the subject, does everyone think they need to have 10 videos and half a dozen songs that all autoplay? Maybe post your videos on YouTube and put a link to them with a creative description.

I don't expect people to be design geniuses, but holy shit. If you don't know what html is, please, please don't do it. And just because blogthings.com has html to cut n' paste doesn't mean you have to do it. Here are a couple examples of thoughtful creative design: http://www.myspace.com/toe_bee and http://www.myspace.com/mikeindustries

I admit the default MySpace page sucks and is quite plain. But for fucks sake, please leave the design to them if you even avoid viewing your profile out of the fear that you will have a seizure.

Here are my tips for viewing MySpace.
1. Download Firefox Web Browser here. It's free and the only reason you wouldn't be using it is you are truly masochistic. 2. Install FlashBlock, AdBlock and Adblock Filterset.G Updater. 3. Enjoy :)
