"a place for friends"? how about "a place for a huge corporation to let you pretend like you own a piece of the internet but actually just a place for them to bombard you with advertising while your inbox and comments page are filled with fake friends and spam messages."
fuck you myspace. i hate you.
One of my fall students wrote his epidemiology paper about young men having sex with young men, met through My Space, and strategized on writing health education regarding avoiding HIV and STIs on My Space, too. I thought that was a cool idea -- and since then I've found I'm about the only grandma around that even knew what My Space is/was, let alone saluting this student for having a creative 21st century idea for health education.
