Comments on: Why Myspace News will fail dramatically. It’s an ADD vs PhD thing.

J and Maggie -

Compared to Myspace I prefer the idea of people having an online space like their own blog (as both of you do!) and then sharing information. I’m optimistic that MyBlogLog will be a good tool to connect those of us with blogs in a similar way to Myspace but without forcing people to stay within Myspace.

I do have a myspace account and even use it, but that only happened because of a kid relative having his blog on there and insisting on communicating with me via myspace. It’s fun to poke around on myspace for old friends I used to know and even “hang out” with Jenna Fischer (Pam Beesly from “The Office”) who has a great blog. But no, it would be hard for me to think of it as a place to get my news, especially, as the article said, if it has the same ugly look and is slow to load. I can’t even imagine the comments (actually, I can… scary).

Sorry, but I checked out myspace at one time, and I have to say I hate it…I can see it being useful in the “teen” world–my daughters are both fans….but, it is just a giant billboard of nothingness…a giant hole swallowing people up…haha. I do enjoy your posts on some of this new stuff though..you keep me enlightened.
