STORM2K

Myspace is the fastest growing online meeting place. Who on Storm2k has it?

Not me. It's like high school multiplied by a million and on crack.

You do have a point. I have to promote my band. There is alot of bands on there doing very well.

I do not go to myspace despite being a high-schooler.

Whoops, I forgot about the band pages. Those are good and look like they probably help a lot of bands get noticed.

Im nearly 45 and I have it..its just something fun to do.

my son has a space there and likes it better than regular email or instant messaging.

I have 2. One under my old e-mail and then one under the new.

Yeah, I jumped onto the bandwagon fairly recently.

I have a myspace got it last september whoohoo it rocks!!!!!!!!

Yea I'm 18 yrs old high school senior

ive got it

I don't have it - what's it all about, anyway????

I checked no, it's too high schoolish.

Back when I was a teenager, girls wrote in their diaries (usually a girl-thing, boys weren't into writing down their thoughts). You were fairly protective of what you wrote but if you wanted a certain boy to know you liked him, you left it open to that entry. When a friend came over. But it was pretty much understood, no one was to read your diary.

Fast forward to 2006 and here is what I just don't understand - this current generation wants to dilulge such personal diary-like info, on myspace pages! I'm sorry, but I just don't understand why young people today think it's okay to put such personal info, for the world to see.

I feel old now.....but I had to say what I did.

PS - and my mom read my diary in HS. Another reason why I first think diaries are very private and second, if you think what you're going to write might be read by the wrong person, then I'm of the belief you shouldn't even write it.

PSS - okay, I'm done now.

i am a 15 year old male, and myspace is not a diary. its a way to meet people, a way to talk to your friends.

No but I recently I've been on it alot though..Some one I new barley died in a car wreck a couple of weeks ago...I was reading her post and now I feel I knew more about her life than I ever would of...Kind of felt stange reading it though..

fact789 - didn't mean to offend you, but the myspace bio's and entries I've read have been personal. Some diary like, some less but still most reveal very private info.


Sorry if you took offense.

Well, I know for a fact that myspace.com is a place that has some good purposes but also some evil with it as well (as much as anything else can I guess). My suggestion to all those who use is to keep very personal stuff offline or keep it to where only those of your friends who you approves can see it.

Every place will have some bad things. Myspace is a good place to meet people and/ or promote something like a band. Thats what I do. my bands mysapce is http://www.myspace.com/tormented

Xanga is more like a diary type place.

I did see the myspace of the basically neo-nazi teen in Massachusetts who went nuts and hacked people in a gay bar with an axe, shot and killed a law enforcement officer, and then killed the woman he'd picked up before either killing himself or getting shot to death by the police (I can't remember).

It was disgusting. And his 'friends' comments after his actions were even worse. They were along the lines of "Why doesn't the media focus on something else y'all just haters" and "he dint do nuthing wrong what is up with you people he is my homeboy juggalo forevah."

The page is of course, gone now, but there sure seemed to be a lot of people who connected to each other in the 'juggalo' family via myspace. Rather disheartening.


(this is not to say that all myspace entries are like this...just that I noticed this one)

Yeah, I'm like a total myspace addict.. Oh how hard it is to be a scene kid..jk... And Ohiostorm.. rad metalcore man ;p
