MySpace - Wednesday, January 31, 2007
I think I've reached a new low. I've done something I never thought I would do. I got a MySpace.
It's all Priscilla's fault! She convinced me that it would be a good avenue to socialize with people from Sojourners, and she's right- socializing is cool. But that doesn't mean I'll think any more highly of the programmatical and stylistic junkyard that MySpace is. For one, it was extremely aggravating for me to customize my profile, having to use lame CSS hacks and whatnot. No wonder the vast majority of people (with little technical knowhow) on MySpace use predesigned layouts or layout generators.
So in the midst of socializing, I'll be writing about the many ways in which MySpace falls short. The AIM conversation below pretty much sums it up:
Me: i'm really ashamed of myself this time
Ray: why
Me: i
Me: got
Me: a myspace
Ray: .....
Ray: i'm never talking to you again
