Este rumor lo había escuchado hace varios días: que este 30 de enero se acababa MySpace. No por algo es una de las peores páginas del 2007. Según el Times:
It seems the community has become infested with marketers and other opportunists who create false profiles and essentially spam other users, all under the guise of “making friends.” Of course, there have always been loads of MySpace profiles of fictional characters, created to help market a movie or promote some other brand. But it’s the bait-and-switch tactics from these leeches (Want to be my friend? Buy a ring tone! Fill out this survey!) that have taken things to a whole new—and sad—level.
Y el promotor de esta moción, Simon Owens, declara:
So, if you’re reading this and you’ve experienced any of the things on the list below, your account may be in need of deletion:
1. You rarely log in to Myspace except to delete spam friend requests from nude webcam girls.
2. You spend five minutes writing a wall post only to hit an error message when you try to post it because of all the website glitches.
3. You’re a girl who constantly gets marriage proposals from random men in the middle east.
4. You visit someone’s Myspace profile only to suddenly have music start blasting out of your speakers. Bonus points if it happens to you while you’re at work.
5. You have to make redundant clicks to perform simple tasks because Myspace keeps taking you to advertisement pages where you have to click on “return to myspace profile” in order to continue what you’re doing.
6. You visit someone’s profile only to have your eyes bleed because of terrible page layout with non-matching designs and font colors.
7. Your experience is hindered because of intrusive banner ads that either talk to you or try to reach out and block your view of what you’re trying to look at.
8. You read yet another news account about how some child predator using Myspace has abducted a little girl or that some hoax myspace account has caused a teenager to commit suicide.
9. You’re frustrated with the fact that Myspace doesn’t allow you to post your contact info, meaning to contact someone you can only use Myspace’s glitchy Instant Messenger, message/email system, or wall commenting.
10. You’re tired of seeing Tom stare out at you from millions of friends lists and just wish he would change his fucking profile picture.
Have any of these things happened to you? Well you’re the perfect candidate for Myspace deletion. Join me on Wednesday, January 30th by deleting your Myspace account. You won’t regret it!
Bueno… yo tengo mi cuenta en Facebook y también me molesta que a cada rato me salga un correo diciéndome: “XXX te ha enviado un mensaje!”, para luego enterarme que es comunitario.
Bueh… en fin. Alguna vez pasé por MySpace y en verdad no lo aguanté por varias de las razones que Simon explica. Por ello, en verdad …cierra tu cuenta de MySpace … y también la del Hi5. Otra tontería.
Lo que yo no entiendo es por qué existen estas redes sociales. Digo: los ves todos los días en la universidad, colegio, trabajo … tomas con ellos los sábados y si tienes suerte tiras con varias de ellas alguna vez en tu vida. Entonces, ¿para qué tenerlos colgados como galeones en una página de internet? Digo, ¿no puedes coger el teléfono y pegarles una llamada o por último, enviarles un e-mail?
Esa vaina de los testimonios … ¡caray! ¿Qué es eso? A mi correo llegan toneladas de correos de amigos que me piden que les deje un “testi”. ¿No les basta que les diga que son mis patas y que lso quiero bastante, que necesitan una prueba por escrito?
Por el amor de sus respectivos dioses …
