    Post Observations about Myspace

    Over the years I've noticed a few things about friends of mine (and people in general) on Myspace. The straw that broke the camel's back was when I logged in earlier and find 14 chain letters posted by the same person.

    The Gullible Poster - There is always at least one person that reposts every chain letter they get. You know the ones: "Make a wish, scroll down 13 pages, resend to your entire friend list and you'll get a phone call in 5 minutes OMG IT REALLY WORKS LOL!!!!!!!!". These are also usually the first ones that have their accounts hacked by clicking on a phishing site (I'm willing to bet on something related to "See who visits your page").

    The Quizzer - Next up are the people that take every quiz, including the one about how many times they masturbate in a year, and then send it out. A quiz every now and then is great, but I don't want to read 7 a day about you!

    The Blogger - If people want to read your blog they'll subscribe to it and receive an email notification about your post, end of discussion.

    The I Need Attention Poster - Subcategory to The Gullible Poster. These types post "If you're my friend you'll repost this back so that I know you read it".

    The Religious Zealot - "You're all going to hell. Myspace is the devil, that's why I'm on it.". I'm all for your beliefs, and will respect them until you try to force them upon me. If I wanted to go to your church I'd be there with bells on every Sunday. Unfortunately, I don't care about how I'm going to hell if I don't read your bulletin, thanks for caring though!

    The Joker - I'm guilty of this (but I don't spam every joke I find). The people that post every funny joke they find, every story, and so forth.

    The Conservative - The people that post once in a blue moon if at all and when they do so it's generally important.



    That's pretty much all of the ones off the top of my head. I'm guilty of a few at times myself, feel free to add to the list!

    I think I'm the Conservative. I haven't posted much in a while.

    Similar things are on facebook. All these new applications - none of which i can see the point of... Some people use them all as if they have just discovered the elixir of life, others like me are totally bored by them all.

    Facebook bores me. I signed up just to see someone's fanclub, and I got bored with it in less than an hour...

    Nah, Facebook is damn near pointless. I just logged back in after a year and my friends add every last one of those damn applications. I usually just ignore em.

    I'm definitely a conservative on Myspace. Maybe too much. I rarely comment anyone anymore, but I AM extremely busy.
    I have "friends" that do everyone of the above. I like to throw out anti bulletins every so often, but they don't get it.

    The Inquisitive Infant: "Inquisitive Infants" seem to view the world around them from the fresh perspective of a newborn child. However, unlike newborns, and with a regularity bordering on fanaticism, they earnestly ask their peers for opinions regarding each and every "discovery" they have made. The Inquisitive Infant asks us to weigh in on a myriad of trivial issues like bran muffins, cleavage depth or deodorant preferences. Amazingly, the Inquisitive Infant is also capable of generating heated debates with seemingly innocuous queries like: "Lindsay or Paris, Who's Sluttier?"

    The eager people - the guys on myspace who comment you with compliments every day or sometimes many times a day hoping of an ounce of attention back and when you drop them a line back they comment you even more frequently than before.

    The "sup" people - those who are not on your friends list but send you messages that when you open them just say "Whats up?" or "Hi" sometimes they do this several times before giving up.

    The ignorer - thats me, lol. I just dont have time to deal with most of the crap on myspace. I blog and thats it (-:

    Ugh, the attention whore bulletin posters. Damn they are annoying. They post a bulletin every time they stub their toe or eat a sandwich, or listen to a song on the radio. As if anybody cares.

    I'm a conservative, by those standards. I only post bulletin for important events or a quiz once in a blue moon.

    I'm a quizzer. I only do it when I'm stuck watching my bf's shop all day long. It keeps you amused. I'm not forcing anybody to read my silly surveys so if they bother you, don't read them .
    I'm not as bad with them now that I have SW though.

    I'm just a MySpace user. I don't really fall into any of those categories. Plus since I have multiple profiles - one for personal/private; one for work; one as blog reader/subscriber - you could say i have multiple personalities due to it

    Each one has its own personality as such. Granted I'm my real self in my personal/private one.

    As for Facebook, I'm not a huge fan. I'm on it just that I don't really see the draw over MySpace.

    Go into your friends list in "edit friends"(you'll see it right above the list on your front page). Then check off the box of the person you want to delete and hit delete.


    Oh and aussie..I HATE those guys. I had one on my work myspace sending me a million "Hi" emails a day...then because I wouldnt "holla back" he posted a bunch of bulletins saying crap like "Cameron Keys..why wont you talk to me" "Cameron Keys...check your emails" GRRRRR....I'm ignoring you for a REASON dufas!!

    Oh, what about the people who constantly post those goofy images in your comments?

    *picture of a cat*
    Have a great weekend!

    *Giant glitter-filled girl in a suggestive pose*

    *Blinking cartoon animal*
    Hello!

    *Lolcat-that-you've-seen-a-thousand-times*

    *Pentacle the size of my house*
    (k, I'm Wiccan, but really...I don't need a huge .gif of a pentacle in my comments. Yes, very pretty. But in what way is it a "comment"?)

    STOP IT! These are NOT gifts. They bother me. I'd delete them but I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I'd much rather have a personal message saying, "Just thinking of you and wanted to say hi!" But noooo instead I get random "sexy" or "inspirational" art (the person who made the original hang-in-there-cat-poster should be poked with a sharp stick everytime someone posts one as a comment). I don't want it! I have a few people on my friends list that post the infernal things every week. What gives?

    I'm pretty sick of MySpace at this point. The site needs an update like nobody's business. I'm also too much of a puss to delete the "friends" that I don't really like. I need to do it though, because some of my "friends" are idiots. One or two of them keep posting Jesus-y bulletins and several of them constantly comment with retarded pictures. Then there's the disgusting wank of blogging...some of these blogs...oh I won't even get into it! Let's just say that some people shouldn't be allowed to blog...or breed.

    I'm very conservative about blogging, comments, bulletins and pics, if you haven't guessed by now. I'm also proud to say that as I wrote this I purged some bulletin bandits from my friends list. Felt good.

    You can check in your preferances that comments have to be aproved by you before they can be posted. I had to do that because of damn spammers or I'd have a million " hey..know where you can get a penis enlarger" comments!! Then just dont put any through that annoy you.
