Look at my week’s worth of Myspace friend requests, every single one is a pr*stit*te. Calling Client-9. And let’s not get into the gaping security holes at Myspace. The company will push back against legal actions being taken against the site for as long as possible. There is simply too much money to be made.
Browsing Myspace a bit, how unfortunate that Match continues the T&A advertising there. And you wonder why people have a problem with online dating? Really, is this how you want your brand tarnished represented? Take a moment to ponder the effect these ads have on the subscriber base. Wonder what the conversion from impression to paid member is on these ads?

Aside from the prostitutes who keep sending friend requests myspace is so over… one because they are trying to be too much like facebook by introducing applications. Two because the way their site functions sucks. If you go to the myspace home page to view something then you have to log back in again. Just wierd quirks like that.
It’s very boxy on the member’s personal page where you can change your settings etc. They have boxes all over the place. It’s too much. For bulletins, now status updates and who did what to their profile.
Then there are all their error screens. “oh I’m sorry there has been an unexpected error”.
It’s hard to keep up with myspace, tons of spam, the majority of myspace pages are hard to read and lag your computer. Overall it’s just not that user friendly and ends up being a pain.
