January 30th - say good bye to MySpace!

It's a fact: MySpace is just awful. It's full of spam, obnoxious ads, and bots that pretend to be human and send you requests to be their friend. If you want to be on a social network, get on Facebook. It's free, and it's where your friends are.

January 30 is International Delete Your MySpace Account Day. I'll be deleting my account that day (I never look at it anyway). Check the list below - if you have experienced any of these, it may be time to delete your account:

1. You spend five minutes writing a wall post only to hit an error message when you try to post it because of all the website glitches.

2. You’re a girl who constantly gets marriage proposals from random men in the middle east.

3. You visit someone’s Myspace profile only to suddenly have music start blasting out of your speakers.

4. You have to make redundant clicks to perform simple tasks because Myspace keeps taking you to advertisement pages where you have to click on “return to myspace profile” in order to continue what you’re doing.

5. You visit someone’s profile only to have your eyes bleed because of terrible page layout with non-matching designs and font colors.

6. Your experience is hindered because of intrusive banner ads that either talk to you or try to reach out and block your view of what you’re trying to look at.

7. You read yet another news account about how some child predator using Myspace has abducted a little girl or that some hoax myspace account has caused a teenager to commit suicide.

8. You’re frustrated with the fact that Myspace doesn’t allow you to post your contact info, meaning to contact someone you can only use Myspace’s glitchy Instant Messenger, message/email system, or wall commenting.

Good bye MySpace, and good riddance.
