Pseudo-network
This post is an address of the myspace phenomenon.
To begin I will admit that I have a myspace account. I got it because I like to look at peoples pictures, and in order to do so you need an account.
I dislike myspace because of something I call pseudo-networking. Many people send and accept friend requests simply because it gives them a higher number of friends. This is time that could be spent corresponding with actual friends, or possibly making new ones. Is this not retarded and hollow?
I also dislike myspace because it is owned by newscorp. I don't think I have to expand on this point.
One thing that I do like about myspace is the concept of an online identity. People have web pages dedicated to the simple fact that they exist!
I felt I could use an Internet identity, so I made one. It doesn't have any advertisements or anything, and I can make it look however I want given the constraints of my fluency in html. Here it is.
