And that's as far as I can trace the origin of that acronym...

Regarding the original topic: MySpace is a fad. It's something that all the teenagers want to go on, partly to socialize, but mostly because everyone else is doing it. And given the popularity of the teens on it, businesses figure they can get popularity on their page if they make one.

And agreed with the page quality on MySpace, most of the authors have no concept of web page design. Perhaps they should go on DaniWeb instead of MySpace; at least they'd learn how to design web pages properly .

Agreed, The myspace era will eventually blow over once kids realise there is not much to it that everyone thinks - until then - "tom" sits in his chair receiving million dollar checks

sorry i'm weird i guess.
I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook

Only social networking site I use is Facebook, which still has a nice clean interface. I can't stand myspace pages though, they're about as bad as <marquee> and <blink>. I will admit, I'm basing that on approximately 2 page loads though (took less time to close the tab than it took to load the page :p)

If I needed to socialize with random strangers on the Internet, I'd just head to DaniWeb.

The thing is, that I know 99% of the people I have on my list on myspace... but I agree... DaniWeb is a nice place to socialize with strangers.
