While everyone and their mom begged me to join facebook (which is basically an online yearbook, so it kinda makes sense), no one has any excuse to be on myspace, or anything equivalent, unless you're a 14-year-old teenage girl.

I'm not all that happy about being on facebook either.

I'm also working on creating this one:

And when Burble replies, echoing Xan's sentiments?

Xan is already on it

Oh, I do have a personal blog, that I use to keep friends and family up to date on what I am doing. It's easier than typing emails. For that though, I just use one of the default blogspot layouts.

I dunno. I've found about 10 or 15 friends from high school that I haven't seen in several years. Of course, without the ability to establish and maintain freindships, that reason is duly nullified.

Most of those myspace profiles are annoying, and whoever codes the site is a newbie since it's down half the time, but I have ran into a bunch of old friends on there.

I think friendster was the first site of it's kind.

but that doesn't mean 82 million people won't leave stupidass messages like YOU'VE JUST BEEN HIT BY THE POOP TRUCK PASS IT ALONG TO 15 PEOPLE IN 4 SECONDS OR TOMORROW YOU'LL BE COVERED IN POOP

agreed. I've seen tons of browser crashes, been unable to send two thirds of the messages I've attempted on myspace, and have been disappointed overall in the quality of the thing. But I don't really care because the contacts I've reestablished. The technical side of business isn't nearly as important as the marketing. That's why those of us in the lab or in cubes on workstations all day don't get the salaries or bonuses like the people next door actually selling the shit we make. It doesn't matter nearly as much what we make or how make it as it does what they sell and how much they sell it for. They depend on us far less than we depend on them.
