I was forced into accessing a MySpace page to listen to an upcoming band, and my opinion of the site hasn’t changed. Pages blare music at you; inert backgrounds chew up CPU; and the comments section is filled with “thanks for the add” and fifteen-year old girls that look suspiciously like the one from Your Scene Sucks.
What I find funny… and sad, in a way, is that all external links that aren’t on a whitelist of sites get gated through a splash page at msplinks.com. This is probably old news. It basically says, “don’t give out your username and password.” Are the users really that stupid, or is MySpace’s technology made of that much fail?
