Those who have known me for a while know that I'm a list creator and everything can fall in a few categories established within the list building process. Goals and aspirations, to-do, and rants. Today's list is nothing more than rant but I need to get it off my chest.
5 Things I hate about MySpace
1) Spam - I don't know who I should hate more for this, the people creating the spam accounts or the people stupid enough to believe in them. If spam didn't work, it would go away but instead some brainless person continues to think of them as the real deal and clicks away. The old adage states "an idiot is born every minute" and these are the people that make spam happen.
2) 96 million people screaming "look at me". MySpace caters to our narcissistic side and everyone is shouting about themselves at once.
3) MySpace photos. I was a huge fan of the "scene" girl photos back in the day but now it has become passe and boring. It is time to create a new fad of photo genius to display to your friends.
4) Load times. Is MySpace seriously coded in HTML circa 1985? I'm sick of hearing the excuses why the site can't load quickly (to many people, yada yada) but really it brings me to number 5.
5) Tom. Who is this guy that everyone has to accept as a friend upon joining the site? The first thing I did when I created an account was to delete Tom faster than a prom dress falling to the floor of a horny teenager's prom. I'm sick of his updates and mindless banter and I just wish he would go away. I imagine a geeky guy in the basement of his parents house typing away at his keyboard as his mom yells down for him to come to dinner. Sure this is a atypical stereotype but it is one that I feel is close to the truth.

The other day I was trying to find info on a new band. They have a website, but the only content on it is a picture and link to thier myspace page. Sure, the myspace site had 3 unreleased full length songs. Thr problem I have is that these sites are incredibly cluttered and full of useless junk. So, to this day, I don't know what their tour dates are.
