May change that soon, though. Yeah, the only reason I still maintain it, I think, is for the few friends I stay connected to through it. May change that soon, though.

Myspace really has 'soured' over the course of the years. Only reason I'm on it is because, like you'd said, the reconnecting part of it. It's pretty neat to write to someone you haven't seen in ages and find out how their lives turned out. You hit the nail right on the head! Myspace really has ’soured’ over the course of the years.

Haven't really used it yet. Kapgar - I saw some spam come in, then some incoming links. When I followed them, my posts were on their site. Cal - Just downloaded Skype the other day.

This could be good. Personally I hedge my bets and keep most of my friends on either Live Messenger http://get.live.com/messenger/features or http://www.Skype.com (both have free text chat, voice, video and phone). So far of all the social networking sites I've found Live Spaces, http://get.live.com/spaces/overview to the the safest, least invasive and socially useful of all the sites I've reviewed and tried. Just my two cent opinion of course! SJ - Staying with Skype.com is a pretty safe bet because they have a very strong global following and Google is very likely to buy them from eBay.

I don't care if the world starts following me, but I'm not following the world back. SJ - funny you should talk about Twitter.

Too much junk, and no real purpose served. Total pain in the ass. I'm on my third go-round with Twitter, and already getting fed up again. People I don't even know following me, then when I check their profile, they're marketing shit. Plus, it hasn't worked right since I re-upped this last time. And all the fun stuff happens while I'm at work, anyway. Let's all move over to Skype's IMing, and see how long before it turns into Skam. I quit out of FaceSpace and MyBook a LONG time ago.

(All the applications.) I started using it primarily to stay connected with my daughters, who are in college now and update their photo albums all the time. Since I've been adding friends left and right, I have to make sure I only give them access to my limited profile, so they can't see my girls' pages.

I'm sure there are plenty of people enjoying it but I think it's totally lame. I've never even considered a Myspace account. I didn’t *get* Facebook from the day I signed up for it.
