I really don't think Myspace started that.





Oh, and fuck Myspace.

Gil made a myspace profile for hektik. I admit I made my own profile for me once but less then 24 hours later I deleted it. I saw no reason to have it, I have hektik and it's more than a pain in the ass to keep shit going without needing another distraction. On a side not I hardly look at peoples pages there, too many people make it hard to read with text poorly laid over bright images, the videos and music that start to play, it's the aol wave all over again. If you make something there make it easy for everyone to view, well if you actully want people to look at it.

The hektik myspace profile is here for you myspace junkies that care... http://www.myspace.com/hektik_org

People on myspace have abandoned all internet courtesy. Poorly laid out pages, and HTML. These HTML editors available for myspace, make it easy for every monkey with a keyboard to design an ugly, hard to read, annoying fucking page.

The one Gil put up is plain/clean, but yeah - there are some eyesores on there, going to a page with animated .gif backgrounds, 5 videos that try to load at once, scrolling pictures, more animated gifs to accompany the text that you cant read because it's one shade off from the table its in... and the list goes on. Yeah, it's shitty that it's bastardized the web as it has - but we'll keep using it for what we use it for, a simple way of free advertising and entertainment*.

*entertainment = when you have a girls picture in the profile like we do (a girl holding a hektik sign) it's great fun, so many guys hit on you and don't bother reading the profile that says the girl wont answer your ass. I am stocking up on good content with some of those tools.

I have seen the hektik page. I didnt really think of all the ass clowns that probably send messages. Classic.... Im going to go add hektik as a friend right now.

More so-called-creativity. Is this the best we can do people of myspace?

I don't know why I replied to this topic. I hate myspace. It's a fucking popularity contest. And I told those to go fuck themselves way back in highschool.

as much as i hate myspace sometimes, so many people i know are on there that it really is an easy way to drop 'em a line - everything has it's ups and downs, y'know?

myspace is the homer simpson of webpages......anytime anyone mentions that site I instantly think of the MR. X episode, and homers first go at the web page....where he has dancing jesus and all of those bells and whistles rollin

That makes me think back to when I was going to countless shows to try and see if I could help out some bands make their own website. You know, something to distinguish themselves from others. And what do I hear in-between songs? "You should check out our website @ myspace.com 'slash' [insert band name]." Then when i go to really good local band's myspace pages, all I see in the comment section is ads for when other local bands are playing.

You know when you go to a news site, and you see those ads on the sides of the page that you automatically tune out? Myspace is one huge ad, that needs to be tuned out. I think kenny said it best when he said "I do not need an ad filled, fox censored medium to keep track of my real friends..... ....On myspace the term 'friend' is bastardized."

I can't agree with this anymore. The people I miss that have found me on that site, I rarely talk to anymore. I mean like talk-talk. No IM's no 'comments,' real communication. That's where the part of me that gets up to turn off my computer, walk outside, smell the air, smoke a cigarette, and call the people I miss.

I am lucky I get no ads thanks to adblock ( thx firefox) but lamespace pisses me off. I keep it because I have family on there that use myspace because its all they know how to use (besides email and sometimes, they fuck that up too) and it helps me share pix with them in my blog. Other than that its just like a giant forum with extra stupid on top.
