Let's talk about Myspace

I’ve noticed that no matter who’s profile I view, they are in my exptended network. I think there are two options, either a “friend” or in your “entended network.”

I’ve gotten maybe ten friend requests/messages from porn spammers (Look at my webcam!) in the year-ish or so I’ve had an account. I think it’s a year, anyway, maybe less.

Tom is not my friend!

I’ve long since learned to be extremely wary of anything that has the words “webcam” in it, and particulary people acting like they are interested, only to direct you to a web site.

Me neither. When I first got the account, I deleted Tom because I was wondering “Who’s this guy? I don’t know who this guy is, so how can he be my friend”.

Ah, MySpace! Land of 1,000,000 pervs, whores, and and some more pervs.

Daily, I get bunches (between 10-30, usually) of messages from creepy guys; some of them are HILARIOUS, so I document them on my journal.

One set. Two Set. Red set. Blue set.

My personal favorite? The message from the guy who lives in the brain injury facility:

Yeah, real nice.

I for one, think you should talk to the brain injury guy. I mean c’mon, that can’t end badly.

I’d like to get on the MySpace group, if possible.

As far as I remember, you can just hit the “join this group” button on there. At the most labor-intensive, Bear would have to okay it and I don’t see any reason he wouldn’t. Join us…

Ok, I found it and asked to join. Thanks.

I have one friend on MySpace, and she’s in my age group. We old folks gotta stick together.

I use it to raise awareness of my band, Subtech. :stuck_out_tongue:

I joined, too. A week or three ago.

I guess my application and check didn’t clear yet, though, because I never heard anything back.

See, that seems to be a valid reason for MySpace. How does it work for you?

And I’m thinking of sending hits to Diosa just so I can make her LJ set. But that brain damaged guy looks hard to beat.

I have a profile on MySpace solely because one of my friends had one and I am a sheep.

I don’t like the interface, but this thread has inspired me to go find some Dopers.

Frankly sir, I’d be honored if you took the time to try to beat some of these guys. Of course, you’d have to smoke a lot of pot and bash your head in with a pipe a few times, but if you’re willing to do that for lil’ ol me, than why not? :smiley:

I just got one today with the subject line, “Hay nice ( .)( .)”

Sweet, really.

Not too bad. I’m getting a dribble right now, but every bit helps.

IMHO, the bulletins on myspace are abused and used for chain mail. Bugs me to no end. I also get 3 or 4 of those spam invites from people with webcams every week or so. That also bugs me to no end. All in all I think myspace hates me. Because I’m a whore here’s a link toMy MySpace

I very rarely get any of the webcam/porn spammers. I’ve been on MySpace for about four months now, and I’ve had maybe two or three during that time. I get a friend request from a random band every couple of weeks, but it hasn’t been too bad. I wonder why some accounts attract more than others.

Well, fine then … you don’t have to like me!

:smiley:

I am proud to have the longest thread in the SDMB group there. Well, of the what, four threads? And it’s the really obvious one, too.
