Just say no to Myspace

I cancelled my myspace account the other day; here’s a brief list of grievances:

  • Custom backgrounds/colors: people just don’t understand readability
  • Unsolicited sounds/music
  • Friend requests from bots ALL THE TIME
  • Clutter
  • Overall sketchiness

I’m still on facebook; it still has a fairly clean interface, and I haven’t gotten any spam or “friend request spam” from it like I did on myspace.  The only problem I have with it are all of these applications and application requests which are just adding to the clutter.  We’ll see how it goes.



  • I believe facebook also remembers which applications you keep 'expanded' or not, which helps a LOT with profile readability.
  • i don't mind some of the applications. But I am scared that facebook is going to turn into myspace like with the top friends, and all the glittering text. But as of right now, at least you can read the pages and aren't bombarded by music, which is the part i hat eth most about myspace

    Actually, Nick Pike wrote a firefox extension that blocks the Facebook applications...
