No Room In MySpace For YouTube
from the mine,-yours,-mine,-yours dept
Well, it had to happen sooner or later. With all the silly hype around whatever it is you want to think Web 2.0 really is, much of it focused on the idea of various new services working well together. However, once the big media players started buying up the hyped up little companies, you knew there’d eventually be some sort of conflict over what was allowed. There was a lot of worry when Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp first picked up MySpace about how they would change the community. However, MySpace continued to thrive (even if the numbers don’t really add up) as News Corp., mostly left them alone. Unfortunately, it appears that the old controlling mindset is sneaking back in as a bunch of MySpace users have discovered that they can no longer integrate with YouTube, a popular video hosting site. It’s not entirely clear why this happened, but it does hint at some of the conflicts to come as more traditional media companies try to get their heads around the idea that what makes many of these new services useful is the fact that they avoid heavy handed control over what you can do — even if it seems somewhat competitive to what the media companies are trying to do themselves.

Good...
MySpace sucks, all those people are just whoring themselves for a little attention. It’s basically a huge popularity contest but the ironic thing is that even if you win you’re still a loser.
Re: Good...
Sorta akin to winning an argument on the internet being similiar to winning the special olympics?????
You may have one, but you are still a retard??
Something like that there > 🙂

When you win, you have Won (not one)

MySpace is reknown for being ghetto anyways. Facebook is 1000 times better, but doesn’t get as much attention as myspace since you have to be a college student to take part of facebook.

NEWS: Unlike on myspace, you dont win popularity points on TD by double posting. heck, TD doesn’t care how popular you are, and neither do most others.
Re: Re: Re:4 Careful whom you call a retard ---
No its isnt youtube, it was Tom on myspace, and we had an interesting conversation about it, but they are allowed to link again now.
Re: Re: Re:5 Careful whom you call a retard ---
As long as MySpace remains free, it’s cool with me. The only reason why I think people should use it at all, is to keep in touch with some old High School buddies who have disappeared from the face of the earth.
Other than that… it’s just a playground for people to lust after each other.
With regards to Facebook… it’s definitely not a bad system… but there are some minor kinks that annoy me. That and the fact that there’s little to no customization (at least from the last time I checked).
If I weren’t so damn lazy, I’d set up my own page, but for now I’m plenty content with using Xanga.
Re: Re: Re:2 Careful whom you call a retard ---
ghetto? explain…..
just what is a retard? using adjectives that dont fit?
hmmmmm
Re: Good...
Wow someone must not have been very popular in highschool. Ill be your friend……dont worry.
Re: Re: Good...
lol I have to agree with the first post.
Re: Good...
Agreed!
Set up a blog if you have something to say!
If you don’t, then don’t post your crap! Stop trying to be unique like everyone else and just BE yourself.
Disco Stu didn’t advertise, and he was cool.
Re: Good...
my space may be a popularity contest for some
but arent the majority of people idiots any ways?
you cant just exclude everyone not on my space
and by the way
its a good site for networking and finding old friends across the whole damn world
dont be jelous if you dont have n e one to look for
or anyone looking for you.
Re: Good...
WELL I DONT THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE JUST WHORING THEM SELVES BECAUSE IF THAT WAS TRUE EVERY ONE WOULD HAVE A PROFILE!! MYSPACE IS A WAY TO STAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND YOU CAN JUST SHOVFE IT UP YOUR ASS!!!!

MySpace is for people that are just as self-absorbed and vain as bloggers, but too stupid to create a blog. Not exactly a rocket science convention.
Re: You fucktards....
oh my god… you people are sooo dumb. don’t you have anything better to do then talk crap about myspace? I mean seriously, if you hate it so much, keep it to yourself, its not like you have to warn the world about how much you hate it… but what ever. myspace is cool. it allows you to pick out stuff you like, put it all together, and veiw what your personality actually looks like virtually. It’s awesome! I don’t understand how you can say people on there are sooo “vain.” There are vain people all over the world in every day life, and it just so happens some of them have myspace. Every One has myspace for different reasons. whether it’s looking for and out of touch friend, or wanting to express yourself, or whatever. and yes i admit some people do it for the popularity, but those people do a lot of shit for popularity, so you shouldnt just single out a website for it. whatever. Bye People.
Works fine for me
YouTube has been working fine for me so I honestly dont believe this, I believ eit’s you tube trying to get some pub and there name out there.
multiply.com
MySpace is garbage. I’ve been using a site called multiply.com for a while now, it’s great and does not limit your potential in terms of uploading pictures and stuff.
Why anyway?
It sucks that companys try to control what you can do on these sites when its meant to be up to you what you do.
MySpace I have never got used too… I dont understand what the fuss is about.
I also do not see why people dont just setup there own blog… Its gree and easy and you get full control over it. Just use http://www.WordPress.com
Re: Why anyway?
Man oh man, Doyle, I can’t wait to read your blog. It’s no doubt absolutely friggin’ craptacular, what with your great grammer and all. Your inability to communicate thoughts via the printed word is nothing short of tragic.
I weep for our children.

i got a myspace thing and upon learning how lame it was decided to try deleting it. I have sent three requests to get my thing deleted and every single time it said that it was going to send me an email with instructions on how to delete it AND IT STILL HASNT, that was 2 months ago i have just stopped logging on but i sure do wish i could delete it
Myspace is just a stupid website why do you freaks have to make such a big deal about it… If its so “retarded” and low why dont you fuckers just forget about it and stop wasting your time on these fucking comment thingys and do something alittle more worthwhile.
faggots
that goes for all those pessimistic fuckers who are complaining and putting down a website that isnt really THAT bad. yeah i have a myspace.. yeah i said it.
MY URL IS http://WWW.MYSPACE.COM/BOOPBOOPBEEP !!!!!!!!!!!

Myspace comment
Myspace serves a useful purpose. It allows bands to gain more exposure and sllows individuals to socialize. There is nothing wrong with that!

??HI??
HI EVERYONE THE SCHOOL IS SO GAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO BLOCK MYSPACE IS ANY ONE ON HERE TO TALK?? WELL YES YES….. ~antonette~
There is a time and place for everything
I run a network at work, and after countless complaints from co-workers saying that this guy and that guy are fucking around on Myspace and not getting anything done – I blocked that shit too. You’re at school to get your learn on – and work to get your work on. Yeah I have a myspace account with about 19 CLOSE friends, not an attention whore by any stretch of the imagination; just save your whoring until you get home. This goes for Ebay, Google games, and Youtube… It was blocked for a reason, so get your ass back to work.
