I never *loved* Myspace, but it was OK.

I think that where they really lost track was when they decided to milk the site for money through massive advertising splashed everywhere.

Then too, the site was hard to work, but I think people would have gotten past that and given it a break if they could look at Myspace and figure out what they were doing there? When you go to Myspace you say “What am I supposed to do here?”

I am constantly amazed at how a good thing can crash so hard. Its a kind of incompetence that is so vast and harmful it takes your breath away.

myspace sucks, they had a good thing going user friendly, then those educated damb fools decided to upgrad and make everyones life more frustrating. its no wonder there losing alot to facebook. Facebook is alot better compared to the new profile on myspace. i hate myspace they can stick there website right up there own space, cause thats soon to be empty!

Myspace for me is now extremely frustrating. The problem is there is still a large teenage presence there, and in order to keep in touch with my friends, I have to go on there. There are so many problems with myspace that it makes me want to punch babies. But the people at Myspace don’t seem to care….Hopefully everyone will realize facebook is the better choice :]

We have moved away from myspace as we could not have get to grips with getting our look across, we found d2mondo.com which allowed us to build our bamds complete site for free, and our designer had no issues as it has standard css and javascript. So Bye Bye MySpace hello D2mondo.

When Myspace started back in 2003,everyone had to sign up. Me,my friends,family and everyone else just thought it was so freaking cool because there was never anything like it.Designing page layouts was fun. It was a great way to connect with friends and family. Getting friend requests from artist all around the country was cool. It was great way of discovering new talent. I did not like getting all the random messages from creepy weirdos across the globe or the spam in my inbox. On Facebook I have more privacy which I like. On Myspace anyone can find you because to me Myspace is like a dating site(along with being several other things) and some use it to find romance which I am not there for. I got so sick of this that I just stopped using my account and just stick to Facebook and Twitter. Sure Facebook could work on a few things,but MySpace has far greater kinks to work out.

I hate MySpace. And I don’t know anyone that uses it that doesn’t have the same feeling about it. Yet, don’t fool yourself, it will be up for a long time, because it still is the place where every band has to be. MySpace is were contacts appear, because it is “where music is”. Promoters, labels, artists, fans, everywhere is there and they are – in a technological unsatisfying way, yes – doing it using MySpace. MySpace, the platform? Garbage. MySpace, the network of people? Priceless.
