The Cynic Says……

I found a pretty interesting article on what the founders of myspace used to do before they started up myspace. Turns out that for the most part they all had some doings with email mass marketing and spam. Not really surprising since myspace seems to be predicated around spam that the userbase actually seems to welcome. People sending unsolicited bulletins that I really could give two shits less about reading, advertising at every turn (thank god for Firefox & Adblock), unsolicited friend requests from bands and porn spammers… not to mention the website is horribly laid out and a majority of the time takes 8 years to load, if it even loads properly at all. I use it less and less everyday and I’m still not exactly sure why I haven’t bothered deleting myself other than 90% of my friends have myspace and it’s occasionally amusing to see the new pics my friends post. Anyway, here’s the article. Pretty interesting reading.
