I’ve always had a tolerate-hate relationship with MySpace, but as a comedian, it used to be king of the hill for me. I posted videos and blogs, networked with other artists and got lots of fan correspondence in the form of emails and comments on my photos, blogs, videos and wall. However, the past six months or so have seen MySpace become virtually abandoned.

Thanks and Regards

No kidding. Myspace has a large enough userbase that it will be around for a while to come, but it would take a massive, ground-up redesign to save that programming abortion from the facebook juggernaut, at this point, I think. Hopefully, in time, we will see this demon exorcised from the internet.

FYI, i'm on my THIRD attempt to change my myspace password. i'm almost
tempted to just cancel my account. this is so annoying. it keeps rejecting
great passwords.

ok thanks. changing.

myspace is so annoying. i tried to change my password, and it said

"passwords cannot be more than 10 characters long"

in other words

"we don't really believe in security"

i can't wait for this service to go the way of friendster

I just got one, myself, and I most definitely have logged into myspace at least a few times in the past week. By all accounts it appears to be a scam, and a pretty well polished one, at that. You might want to change your password.

It's not from myspace. It's a phishing scam.

this sounds ridiculous...and desperate. why don't they just close shop?
