The Myspace Phenomenon



I've got one, you've got one , hell even Noel Edmonds has one :P
I could only be talking about Myspace!
After sitting on my computer for over an hour , with yet another request from a band called Bloodbath and no comments or messages. I've started to question the value of Myspace, i mean maybe I'm just desperate for comments because I'm hugely unpopular? You can blog which is pretty cool, choose and listen to music as you please, it's great for promoting bands, but has myspace just become yet another site for posers?
By posers what I mean is the people spending hours uploading five pages worth of pictures.Yes well it does look like you have friends, yes well done!
Has myspace become a mirror for the self obsessed or merely another source for crap advertising? Or maybe it's none of the above?

Myspace was recently bought by the Murdoch owned media giant News corp. News corp owns media companies such as Fox and Sky, and has often relected a conservative ideology on its consumers. But will the freedom of speech myspace is famous for be crushed and manipulated by News Corp owned Fox Entertainment.
I dont know about you but im pretty glad i deleted Tom Anderson from my friends list!
Why Tom, I trusted you! Why would you sell out to Murdoch? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? Could it be that Mr R Murdoch himself offered you a staggering £332.85million. I mean fuck that is a lot of money.. Tom sold out... and so did co founder Chris De Wolfe. But can we really blame them , I mean they set up the site to make money in the first place didn't they, surely they couldn't have had our interests in mind aswell as their own?

All i know is that since Myspace was taken over by Murdoch i have been tempted to delete my account move permanently else where, Bebo, Face party and newcomer face book are waiting in the wings ready to pic up any deserters.

Are you ready to desert myspace aswell, or is Fox's takeover a good thing?
