Yeah, I think the reason that it is so popular, is because a monkey can do pretty much anything the website offers.

Easy for the masses, I guess.

How it’s become so addictive…I have no clue.

MySpace sole purpose is to generate revenue, even before media mogul Rupert Murdoch got his hands on it, thats why you will never be able get rid of spam or those annoying banners that also end up promoting spam. and even though this thread is related to technical issues, my point here is that when a company only focuses on generating revenue, then from the head down, they only care about keeping the site up enough to generating revenue and doing the least amount possible on other areas. they already got the numbers, they are the biggest fish in the pond, they no longer concern themselves with things like customer satisfaction.

I agree with David, but if you are looking to start your own social network site, like I am, what is the best software or approach? I am looking at phpfox for one. Is that the right direction? What happens as things change or technology advances, will I be able to keep up to date? As you can see, I’m new at this. I think I have a great niche market idea, but I’m just not a programer.

No problem, VfishV. My issue with MySpace isn’t so much the idea of people expressing their individuality… That’s great and I encourage it. My problem with MySpace is that it’s poorly designed, poorly architected, and never frickin’ works right.

And people will see that over the next year or two when Facebook eats their lunch.

Individuality is key in the world at the moment…while there are many trends being followed, everyone inside of these trends might want to be the trendsetters… In myspace, you’re afforded the ability to be whoever or whatever you want to be with your space.

Law, Order, and societal standards…should be left in your flesh and blood society. We’d be without many of the woderous objects we play with today if everyone followed the “standard rules.” For one, the world still might be a square. Let’s let people do what they want with their own little cozy nook on the web.

And one last thing. You should always do your research before bashing something. For instance, the sound playing or not playing is a space creator’s choice for the myspace song modules. It’s not what you use to stop sounds from playing on other peoples site.
All you need for that, my fine chap, is your very own volume control, neatly located in the bottom right hand corner of your screen.

Hope this is helpfull but… not so worried if not.
