Oh the songs, Jim!
I've been messing about with MySpace for the first time, and getting increasingly frustrated with it.
I really can't see the appeal, why on earth is it now something like 5th biggest site on the planet? It feels very limiting and "closed standard". It also seems to crash a lot. I can only think it's taken off because it's owners, News International, have been flogging to death in their various media organs.
The only reason I set up a profile is to try and find an easier way to link to a music track that my brother had found, and that I really really like!
But I give up, there's no easy way to do it. Myspace is too restrictive.
You'll just have to click here and then look for the link under the music player for "By The River".
If you like Dylan Moran, you'll like this, trust me.

I've never tried using Myspace, i sort of felt i'm not down with the kids enough to justify having something on it !
The huge banner ads are always fun too... That 768px wide PLASMATV4FREE banner was throbbing dandily along to the beat of the Dangergirl track. :)
Simple answer is to just say no to MySpace. Especially with their staffing policies. I don't think Tom has had any sleep in the last year!
Second Life is my social network of choice now.
MySpace is pants!
On Flickr, however, I always know where to look - at photos of me, of course!
But I keep getting messages from people...that I'd rather not get messages from.
For some reason, in the UK it's become an acceptable way to say something is "a bit crap". :-)
(the links to my band above are for illustrative purposes and not at all to do with link whoring)
And if you take off on MySpace, the effects can be exponential. Just ask these lads.
In short, it's a rubbish website, poorly built with no standards compliance and little regard for good information architecture, but because of weight of numbers, the social effects can be huge.
Don't blame me. I didn't invent the Internet. It just sort of grew.
(I often write comments on Becky's blog then make them into new posts on mine. Which is what will happen to this one)
