Thanks to Tom Anderson established in 2003 this widely used online profile have now become a person's life. A popular feature is the ability to assemble galleries of
friends, with their photographs linking to their own pages. (As at many networking sites, MySpace members must receive permission from other members before adding them as
friends, and sometimes "friendship" is no deeper than a brief e-mail exchange.)
Myspace has become the place for geeks/emos/scenesters/bands/preps and others alike to prove how they 'truly' are by informing others in the about me section. You add everyone from the guy you were too scared to talk to, to comment and say the unforgettable how are u? or watz up? question or the 'good' girl in
school whose photos consist of the partially nude her. It is the ultimate ego booster, when people you don't know tell you “hey you got aim? Ur
hot”
You over load the
music section, naming every band you've heard of, as in... just heard of, not listened to. It is a competition of how many bands you can name and how many
friends you can get in a given time. A way to test your popularity and flaunt it by saying to your
friends the next day in
school "So I got 27 friend requests yesterday" - "Well I got 87..." - "...oh....". Groups are also made to have similar people in one place where again they post bulletins, message each other, post pictures and add
friends.
The term "
whore" is for whoring, the way to advertise one's self or other's in bulletins. The repeating of ADD ME until it is noticed and praising one's self with 'I'm
hot and I comment back' is just all game. Friendship is as deep as a rain puddle. Spamming or 'raping' comment boxes with ADD MEs are just as game as whoring.
Myspace was originally for bands to spread or share
music, Tom was in a band, he came up with an idea and it was myspace.
::wakes up:: "I think I'll check my myspace"
"post this bulletin or you
will die in 7 days!"
"omgeez, I hate you,
ur hella gone off of
my friends list..."
"what!? you don't know what a myspace is? what's wrong with you... EVERYONE knows what a myspace is..."
